UChicago Medicine has been at the forefront of medical care since 1927. Located in historic Hyde Park, the primary medical campus includes the Center for Care and Discovery, Comer Children's Hospital, Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital for adult inpatient care, and the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine (DCAM) totaling more than 550 beds in service and net patient care revenues over $1.4 billion. Plans are underway for an additional 150-bed patient tower. New ambulatory facilities are located in Orland Park and the South Loop, and the Ingalls Health System has recently integrated into the network.

The University of Chicago has established level 1 adult trauma services on its Hyde Park medical campus, supplementing the existing level 1 pediatric trauma services and the burn and complex wound center. The University of Chicago is now up for level 1 verification status for both the adult and pediatric trauma services within the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in 2027.
