Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics
and Gynecology
There
was a time when women's health was nearly considered an afterthought
in medicine. But today, there has never been a stronger focus
on advancing women's healthcare throughout the life cycle.
At Rush North Shore, the mission of the Department of Obstetrics
and Gynecology is to provide compassionate, high-level care
to the women in our community at every stage of their lives.
Our staff offers comprehensive gynecological and obstetrical
services, from routine physical examinations to advanced,
multidisciplinary treatment plans for cancer, endometriosis,
infertility, and dozens of other conditions.
Recent additions to the department's faculty have brought
nationally recognized expertise in the ares of minimally invasive
pelvic surgery and menopausal medicine, thereby expanding
the clincal capabilities available to patients.
We are particularly proud of our extensive services for new
mothers and newborns. Each year, hundreds of happy, healthy
newborns are delivered at Rush North Shore. These little ones-and
their eager new moms-receive nurturing, individualized care
in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Our 10 private labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum (LDPR)
suites allow individualized care to new families, with the
availability of leading-edge pain control through our anesthesia
service on a 24-hour basis. In addition, prenatal education
and wellness is a top priority at Rush North Shore.
Our staff offers ongoing classes
to expectant parents on such topics as:
- Prepared Childbirth Classes
- Infant safety and CPR
We also offer personalized tours of our maternity suites on
alternate Sundays of each month at 1:00 p.m.
For more information, please read the
Prenatal Education Programs Brochure.
For class schedules and registration, call 847/933-6000.
If you have any questions about our services, please call the
