Northwestern Medicine

We are an integrated academic health system, a partnership between Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. We focus on patient care, research, and teaching to improve health outcomes.

We offer advanced healthcare, including cutting-edge treatments and discoveries, at over 200 locations. Our specialties include Oncology, Orthopaedics, Cardiology, Pediatrics, Neurosciences, and Women’s Health. We also provide services like physical therapy (pelvic floor and orthopedic), medical coding (CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS), patient access, and financial counseling.

Five of our hospitals, including Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Central DuPage Hospital, and Lake Forest Hospital, were ranked among “America’s Best” by U.S. News & World Report for 2025–2026. Other hospitals in our system include Delnor Hospital, Huntley Hospital, Kishwaukee Hospital, Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, McHenry Hospital, Palos Hospital, Sandwich Hospital, and Woodstock Hospital.

Our mission is to put patients first and improve health by advancing medicine. We believe this means every employee either provides direct care or supports those who do, works to improve community health, and maintains our vital relationship with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. We integrate education and research to constantly improve our clinical practice, bringing care closer to where patients live and work.

Our vision is to be a top destination for world-class care and talent, recognized globally for advancements in healthcare from research to patient visits.

Our core values are: putting patients first, upholding integrity with an uncompromising code of ethics, valuing teamwork for collective success, and striving for excellence through continuous improvement.

Our team includes over 33,000 clinical and administrative staff, medical and science faculty, and medical students. Our culture is built on a shared commitment to superior quality, academic excellence, scientific discovery, and patient safety. We believe every individual contributes to the patient experience and our overall excellence.

We foster a patient-first environment that emphasizes teamwork, integrity, and continuous improvement. We expect collaboration among colleagues, adherence to ethical and regulatory standards, and active involvement in education and mentorship.

We offer a range of employee benefits to support physical, emotional, and financial well-being. These include tuition reimbursement, loan forgiveness, and 401(k) matching.

We also provide lifecycle benefits and resources for overall well-being and protection during unexpected life events. Some positions may qualify for a sign-on bonus. Eligibility often depends on whether you are an internal employee, a rehire (usually not eligible if you left within one year), or a new graduate seeking your first licensed clinical role.
