Our distinction as a nationally ranked academic medical center combined with our role as a nonprofit Catholic healthcare provider gives Loyola Medicine a mission unique to the Chicago area. Our doctors belong to the faculty of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, which allows them to teach the next generation of physicians and to lead meaningful clinical research. Their expertise is as noted as their compassion. Together with our entire staff, they fulfill our mission to treat the whole person with compassion—to "also treat the human spirit."
