*Public Information Officer
Our first priority is the safety and privacy of our patients. Under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), strict restrictions have been placed on the information that can be released to the media about a patient's condition. All inquiries must contain the patient's name, and the patient or patients must be listed in the hospital directory for the information to be released. While a one-word statement of condition may be given, know that the patient does have the option of "opting out" so that no information is made public.
Our Public Relations team handles all requests for patient conditions.
NorthShore University HealthSystem is a comprehensive, fully integrated healthcare delivery system. The system includes four hospitals (Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park and Skokie) and a wide spectrum of leading clinical programs. Our relationship with Mayo Clinic allows physicians from these two respected systems to work together on the most complex medical cases. In addition, as the principal teaching affiliate for the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, NorthShore is dedicated to excellence in medical education and research.
