    Sunday, January 27, 2008, 5:00 PM [General]

    Swedish Covenant Hospital is a comprehensive healthcare facility providing health and wellness services to the communities of Chicago's North and Northwest sides. An established academic and community hospital, Swedish Covenant Hospital offers a comprehensive range of medical programs, including cancer, cardiac, surgical, women's health and emergency services. As one of the few independent, nonprofit hospitals in the area, we remain focused on our mission of providing compassionate care in a healing environment.

    Established more than 120 years ago, Swedish Covenant Hospital is Chicago's only member of Planetree, an organization that develops and implements guidelines for patient-centered care. Out of the 5,000 US hospitals, only 125 have committed fully to the Planetree philosophy of treating the whole patient-body, mind and spirit.
