Chicago hospital building boom: Billions of dollars pour into new facilities, but are the investments worth it?

Rush University Medical Center just completed a massive, $654 million hospital as part of a $1 billion campaign to update its Near West Side campus.

Children’s Memorial Hospital is putting the final touches on an $855 million new hospital in Streeterville that will replace its 50-year-old Lincoln Park hospital.

The University of Chicago Medical Center is spending about $700 million on a new South Side hospital pavilion expected to open in January.

Others, including Northwestern Memorial Hospital, are awaiting regulator approval for projects of their own.
