What is it about Rush?2006 Annual Report

It’s leadership that drawsfrom experience and plansfor the future.What is it about Rush that makes it an extraordinary place of healing? It’s a question we askourselves often — mostly because the question makes us strive to do things better and the answersmake us very proud to be a part of Rush.It’s the people at Rush who truly make a difference. Here, highly skilled teams of clinicians, scientistsand educators collaborate to develop and translate research advances into innovative approaches tocare. The proof is everywhere. It’s in a knee replacement that renews an active life. It’s in problemsolvingresearch that brings new hope to stroke patients today. It’s in a commitment to educatethe health care providers of tomorrow. It’s advanced care and cutting-edge techniques, and, mostimportant, it’s a team of caregivers with a special philosophy of patient-focused care that setsRush apart.It’s also the pride we have in a year like 2006 — a pivotal one for Rush. We are pleased that Rush’sfinancial stability earned us an ‘A’ bond rating from financial rating services such as Standard &Poor’s. Rush nurses were honored with the prestigious Magnet designation for a second time in a row,and Rush was designated a “top performer” among academic medical centers nationally and numberone in equity of care by University HealthSystem Consortium. And, we are particularly proudof Rush’s connection with our community — a partnership that is foundational to Rush and soimportant that we committed more than $155 million in resources to support it.Table of contentsThrough your support, the Campaign for Rush University Medical Center made excellent progressthis past year. The campaign will provide our caregivers with new and renovated facilities toaccommodate the most advanced technologies. Campaign funds will also support scholarships forthe best and brightest students, and innovative research that promises to forever change the waywe care for our patients.Patient Care 3-6Research 7-10Education 11-14Community 15-18So, what is it about Rush? Our 2006 Annual Report offers a glimpse into daily life at Rush, and thestories told help us answer this question. We think you’ll see why Rush University Medical Centerhas earned its reputation as a leader in health care and a truly exceptional place of healing.Transformation 19-20Financials and Statistics 21-24Honor Roll 25-28Governance 29Larry J.

It’s a special philosophyof care focused on the needsof individual patientsand their families.A unique program pooling resourcesto find the best solutionFor expectant parents, finding out their baby will be born with serioushealth conditions is an immeasurable tragedy. But a unique programdeveloped this year at Rush helps those parents through that difficulttime with an innovative, collaborative approach to whole-family care.The Rush Fetal and Neonatal Medicine Program addresses the entirespectrum of patient and family needs by bringing together a group ofcompassionate health care providers to develop a care plan for bothmother and baby, answering questions and providing information.Led by co-directors, Jacques Abramowicz, MD, director of obstetricsand gynecologic ultrasound, and Robert Kimura, MD, director of neonatology,the program’s medical team consists of obstetricians, perinatologists,neonatologists, geneticists, pediatric subspecialists, social workers, ethicists,pediatricians and others who have a hand in caring for the newborn.The group of specialists meets with the family prior to birth to review thecase, pool their knowledge and exchange opinions. Families then have theopportunity to ask questions and acquaint themselves with the team thatwill guide them through their pregnancy and delivery.The program, the only one of its kind in Chicago and possibly in thenation, was conceived to address the fact that grieving begins the momentexpectant parents learn their baby is facing a medical issue. The teamapproach significantly reduces anxiety, stress and confusion, and it leadsto more thorough and accurate diagnoses and an individualized treatmentplan for each pregnant patient and newborn.The first knee replacement shapedspecifically for womenAlthough the majority of the 400,000 kneereplacement surgeries performed each yearare on women, the implant is made to fit men.But orthopedic surgeons at Rush know that awoman’s knee isn’t just a smaller version of aman’s — and they’ve helped design the solution.Aaron G. Rosenberg, MD, and RichardA. Berger, MD, were two of 10 orthopedicsurgeons who designed the Gender SolutionsHigh-Flex Knee, the first knee implant shapedfor women. The implant is placed using minimallyinvasive techniques that allow for smallerscars, shorter hospitalization and quickerrehabilitation and recovery; and safely accommodatesthe flexion necessary for activities likeclimbing stairs, sitting in a chair and golfing.Recognition that Rush’s patient careranks among best in the countryRush University Medical Center was nameda top-performing hospital in a special qualityand safety benchmarking study conductedby the University HealthSystem Consortium.The UHC study, based on patient outcomes,patient safety, mortality, efficiency and equityof care, estimated that if a middle- oraverage-performing hospital made theimprovements necessary to become atop-performing hospital, more than 150lives would be saved each year. Designed toidentify the organizational and cultural factorsthat contribute to superior patient care, thestudy involved some of the nation’s finestacademic medical centers and placed Rushin the top tier of UHC member institutions.It’s a commitment to provide the best care foreven the tiniest of patients like one-day-oldGarvin DeShawn Johns.3 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 20064

It’s Rush programs andcaregivers consistentlyrecognized among thebest in the country.Nursing excellence awarded withthe highest seal of approvalRush’s focus on complete and compassionate care brings more and morepatients to Rush each year. But it’s the people behind that care who setRush apart.And for the second time in a row, the American Nurses CredentialingCenter awarded Rush’s nurses Magnet status, which is the highest recognitiongiven for nursing excellence. Fewer than 50 hospitals in the UnitedStates have received the Magnet designation twice, and Rush is the onlyhospital in Illinois treating both children and adults to receive the honora second time.Hospitals with Magnet status are noteworthy because independentstudies show that they usually have patients who go home earlier, aremore satisfied with their care, have more time with their nurses and lowermortality — and happy patients make happy nurses.To earn Magnet status, Rush underwent a vigorous, multifaceted evaluation.The Magnet appraisal team interviewed more than 350 members ofthe Rush staff and visited 37 locations, including all nursing units, duringa site visit held in April 2006. Rush was also required to submit extensivewritten documentation as part of the evaluation.In all, a little more than 200 hospitals out of approximately 5,000 hospitalsnationwide have been awarded Magnet designation since the program wasformally established in 1993.Being ranked in 10 categoriesTen Rush University Medical Center programswere ranked among the best in the nationaccording to U.S.News & World Report. Themagazine listed the top hospitals across thecountry for 16 medical specialties as part ofits annual “America’s Best Hospitals” issue.Just 176 out of 5,189 hospitals scored highenough to rank in even a single specialty,and in three of the specialty areas, no otherhospital in Illinois ranked higher than Rush:orthopedics (sixth in the nation), neurologyand neurosurgery (12th in the nation)and kidney disease (21st in the nation).Having the only cancer program inChicago with an award from theAmerican College of SurgeonsRush’s cancer program was awarded anOutstanding Achievement Award from theAmerican College of Surgeons Commissionon Cancer. Rush was the only Chicago-areacancer program on the list and one of onlytwo sites in Illinois. The award is significantfor physicians, but is even more important forpatients — it ensures a multispecialty, teamapproach to providing the best treatment optionsand access to comprehensive care witha range of state-of-the-art services and equipment.Only 39 cancer programs in the nationreceived the award, representing approximatelynine percent of the programs surveyed.It’s nurses like Margaret Bruno,senior RN, who personifyRush’s excellent nursing staff.5 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 20066

It’s innovative, life-savingresearch that createshope and brings relief.A device that reduces damagecaused by strokeSudden numbness or weakness in the face or extremities, loss of balance,sudden confusion or trouble walking all can be signs of stroke — the thirdleading cause of death in the United States. And current treatment forstroke is often not effective or is difficult to administer in the very shortthree-hour treatment window.Marking a significant stride toward a new solution, doctors at Rushwere among the first in the Midwest to begin testing a new, minimallyinvasiveapproach to treat this devastating problem.The Penumbra Stroke System uses suction and catheterizationtechniques to remove blood clots in large brain vessels that cause acuteischemic stroke, or a blockage of blood flow to the brain. The systemrapidly restores blood flow and limits damage in the brain caused bystroke. Currently available devices use a corkscrew-shaped coil to snagthe blood clot but make the extraction of rigid clots difficult. And, unlikeother stroke treatments, the Penumbra can be used up to eight hours afterthe onset of stroke and has the potential to minimize injury to the bloodvessel wall.Led by Demetrius Lopes, MD, the first fellowship-trained endovascularneurosurgeon in Chicago, the Phase I research study could result in a newlife-saving tool and a major advancement in stroke treatment.A study that could reverse thedamage of a heart attackAs part of a nationwide study, cardiologists atRush tested a way to regenerate heart muscleand reverse the damage caused by a heartattack. Led by Rush cardiologist Gary Schaer,MD, head of the Rush Cardiac CatheterizationLaboratory, the study used transplanted stemcells to regenerate damaged heart muscle inpatients who experienced a first heart attack.Using a standard IV line to infuse adult stemcells from healthy donor bone marrow insteadof open surgical procedures or catheterization,the study aimed at reversing damageto heart tissue. Results of the study will helpcardiologists unlock the mystery of stem cellsand their vast potential to change or savelives. Rush was the only site in Illinois chosento participate in the nationwide study.Being one of a few sites in the worldtesting a system to improve radiationtreatmentsRush was chosen as one of a few sites in theworld to investigate the use of the PerspectaSpatial 3D system to improve evaluationand planning of radiation treatments forcancer. With the Perspecta system, radiationdose distribution is superimposed over the3D patient image, allowing physicians toview and manipulate the images from anyvantage point around the 360-degree dome.This perspective allows James Chu, PhD,professor and director of medical physicsfor the Department of Radiation Oncology,to see more clearly the areas that are andare not receiving radiation and, as a result,increase the efficiency of the treatment.It’s physicians like endovascular neurosurgeonDemetrius Lopes, MD, repairing life-threateningproblems in the brain with the most advancedand smallest of instruments.7 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 20068

It’s groundbreakingresearch that changeslives at every stage.Using some of the world’s largestaging studies to identify early signsof Alzheimer’sThe Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center has identified subtle memorydeficits often ascribed to normal aging or forgetfulness as early signs ofAlzheimer’s disease.Using donor participants from Rush’s Memory and Aging Project, thelargest study of its kind in the world, and the Religious Orders Study,a collaborative study involving more than 1,000 religious clergy, researchersled by David A. Bennett, MD, director of the Rush Alzheimer’sDisease Center, discovered that participants whose brains showedindicators of Alzheimer’s but didn’t have dementia at the time of theirdeath scored lower on memory tests like recalling stories or word lists.The results support the idea that large numbers of older people cantolerate an amount of Alzheimer’s pathology without it progressing todementia. While all of the study participants appeared highly functional,the study suggested that even slight impairment of episodic memory inolder people may signify the presence of Alzheimer’s — and that thenumber of people with Alzheimer’s is probably much larger than currentestimates. It may also help identify a new direction in research aimed atsolving the mystery of early detection.Participants in the Memory and Aging Project and the Religious OrdersStudy undergo annual clinical evaluations and cognitive performancetests. After they die, autopsies are performed on their brains. Researchersare using the information from the studies to discover which changes inthe brain are responsible for memory loss and movement problems.Testing neck implants to relieve chronicneck and arm painRush was one of a few sites in the nationchosen to test a new approach to treat chronicneck and arm pain. The Porous Coated MotionArtificial Disc was designed as an alternativeto traditional spinal fusion surgery forcervical disc degeneration, a common causeof neck and arm pain that can greatly affectquality of life. Led by orthopedic surgeonFrank Phillips, MD, the goal of the ongoingtrial is to determine whether the implant cansimulate the natural function of the cervicaldisc and restore the motion of the spine.A study showing the effect ofsnoring on a marriageWhile snoring is often blamed for a poornight’s sleep, it’s rarely blamed for divorce —but researchers at Rush think it should be.The Sleep Disorders Center at Rush conducteda scientific sleep study to evaluate how ahusband’s sleep apnea affects the wife’s qualityof sleep and the couple’s marital satisfaction.The Married Couples Sleep Study evaluatedcouples in which the male has been diagnosedwith obstructive sleep apnea. After completingsurveys about sleepiness, marital satisfactionand quality of life, the couple spent the nightin the sleep lab where technicians determinedeach partner’s quality and quantity of sleep.Early results showed that treatment for sleepapnea significantly improved sleep quality,reduced tension and strain — and identifieda new way to help save a marriage.It’s a commitment to research and a belief in itsability to cure that motivates participants in theMemory and Aging Project and the ReligiousOrders Study to donate their brains to Rush.9 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200610

A program uniting skills with thehealth care needs of the communityIt’s student learningTo deliver top-notch patient care, doctors, nurses and allied health professionalsmust work collaboratively to meet their patients’ needs. All toooften, health care education gives students volunteer opportunities workingwith others in their own field of study, but not with professionals fromother disciplines. But Rush’s interdisciplinary student volunteer program,RU Caring, brings together medical, nursing, audiology and occupationaltherapy students, as well as students from other fields of study, providingthem the opportunity to develop and hone clinical, interpersonal andleadership skills while learning to work with colleagues from other healthdisciplines.Each spring, students in RU Caring volunteer their skills and time atthe Spring Into Fitness Health Fair, performing physicals and basichealth screenings for diseases like hypertension, asthma and diabetes,among other services, and distributing health education, for residents ofChicago’s West Side. Volunteers at the 2006 fair at the United Centertreated more than 300 adults and children. These students apply theskills they’ve learned in the classroom in a clinical setting, and Chicago’sunderserved population gets access to essential medical services — healthcare education that exemplifies the true spirit of collaboration.Students using awards to improvehealth and access to careFive graduate students at Rush Universitywere selected as 2006-2007 Chicago AreaSchweitzer Fellows. Honoring the legacy ofNobel Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer, eachof the students will design and direct aninnovative project to improve health andaccess to health care for people who arerecognized as medically underserved. Withprojects ranging from securing medicationsfor uninsured patients, to developing peerbasedhealth training for adolescents, to educatingparents about the risks of childhoodobesity, the fellows will dedicate at least 200hours of service to local communities lackingaccess to adequate health care services.Attracting a nationally recognizedcommunity health researcher as deanof the College of NursingMelanie C. Dreher, PhD, RN, a national leaderin nursing education, joined Rush as theopportunities thatnew John L. and Helen Kellogg Dean of theCollege of Nursing.

She cameeducation happens asto Rush from the University of Iowa Collegeof Nursing, where she served as professorand Kelting Dean and was instrumentalin establishing its Master in Nursing andmuch out of theHealth Care Practice degree. She has alsoreceived numerous research grants and is aninternationally renowned author and speaker.classroom as in.It’s individuals like nursing student Rose Andron andmedical student Nathan Heinzerling who make adifference in the health and lives of youngstudents at Webster Elementary School in Chicago.11 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200612

It’s medical educationdelivered by practitionerswho lead by example.Professors modeling the clinicalbehaviors that their students willneed to deliver highly skilled,compassionate careRush University faculty members practice what they teach — it’s thatsimple. Rush students train with world-renowned teacher-practitioners —men and women who retain active patient care and research enterpriseswhile preparing the next generation of health care professionals —in a learning environment where medical knowledge is continuallybeing advanced. In fact, nearly all Rush University faculty activelypractice in their respective fields.These teacher-practitioners shared their passion for patient care with1,452 students enrolled in the University in the 2005-2006 school year.Rush University is singularly focused on patients. Delivering focusedpatient care is all we teach and all we study. Every health profession —medicine, nursing, allied health — faces critical shortages of well-educated,dedicated practitioners. Rush University educates health careleaders with extensive experience applying the latest medical knowledgein a clinical setting. It does so in the tradition of compassionate care thathas made Rush the medical destination of choice for so many since 1837.Being recognized by the Chicago Tribunefor teaching compassionFor some, it’s gruesome, for others, it’s exciting,but for all first-year medical students anatomylab is an opportunity to learn first-hand howthe human body works. Students’ first exposureto a human cadaver is also a time to learn thefirst lesson of their career — that all patientsare people first. And, to document thatvaluable lesson Chicago Tribune photographerCharles Osgood followed Rush’s first-yearmedical students through anatomy lab.He spoke with professors and students andmonitored their progress. He also documentedthe annual memorial service given by thestudents to honor, remember and thankthose men and women who donated theirbodies to be studied. The video, entitled“Dead Man Teaching,” can be viewed onthe Chicago Tribune Web site through 2008.A simulated environment teachingpatient safety without patient riskOperating room environments can be stressfuland confusing — especially for students notaccustomed to a fast-paced, high-pressuresituation. Students of Rush University are givenan opportunity to adjust and learn in a saferenvironment focused on training for the realthing. The Rush University Simulation Laboratoryis a realistic operating room environmenthousing a life-like, life-sized simulated patient.The simulator has a pulse, blood pressure,heart sounds and the ability to realisticallyrespond to a variety of medical interventionsand health care emergencies. This year, Rushwas among the first institutions in Illinois toobtain a baby simulator which will be used totrain health care providers in pediatric care.It’s physicians like Keith Millikan, MD, so respectedby students that they’ve awarded him with thePhoenix Award for excellence in teaching seventimes in the past 10 years.13 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200614

It’s a focus onbuilding andsustainingpartnerships thatbring resourcesand healing toour community.Collaborating with our community totreat and prevent infectious diseasesFounded in 1998 as a joint venture between Rush and the Cook CountyBureau of Health Services, the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center providesa complete range of outpatient care to individuals and families affected byinfectious diseases — especially HIV/AIDS. In fact, the CORE Center isthe largest provider of HIV/AIDS services in the Midwest.Although the CORE Center is overseen by the Cook County Bureau ofHealth Services, Rush is critically involved in its activities. In 2006, physiciansat Rush provided care at the CORE Center, collaborated on researchprojects, rotated fellows through as part of their training and providedoperational support. Rush leaders also continued to serve on its board.Rush’s involvement with the CORE Center enriches not only practiceand education, it also contributes services that increase the chances ofpositive outcomes for patients. For example, out of 100 births to HIVinfectedmothers, CORE Center patients had no infected babies —national averages suggest that 15 to 25 infected babies should be expected.Established to provide high-quality, compassionate care to those affectedby infectious diseases, the CORE Center provides a comprehensive rangeof care that includes primary care, mental health services, social and legalservices, and support services like diagnostic testing, acupuncture andnutrition counseling. The center provides the latest treatments, research,prevention and education for all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.Together, Rush and the CORE Center seek to better understand andto prevent HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases through educationand research.Helping kids with math and scienceEstablished by the Department of CommunityAffairs at Rush as a response to low science,math and reading scores in the Chicago PublicSchools, the Science and Math ExcellenceNetwork works to provide the same educationalopportunities for students and teachers onChicago’s West Side as those in more affluentareas. Formed in 1990, the SAME Networkcreates interest and improves efficiency inscience, math and literacy by building stateof-the-artscience laboratories in local schools,creating distinctive programs and supportingthe professional development of teachers. Sinceits launch, the SAME Network has grown to acollaboration between Rush and 45 elementaryschools, six high schools and many localbusinesses. In 2006 5,334 children and teensbenefited from the SAME Network’s services.A collaboration with the American CancerSociety to increase access to the best careA new collaboration established this yearbetween Rush and the American Cancer Societyhelped to ease the burden of cancer patientsand their loved ones. This team effort broughta full-time patient navigator, Erin Kessler,LCSW, to the Rush Cancer Resource Program.From coordinating appointments and assistingwith transportation to locating support groupsand obtaining wigs for patients undergoingtreatment, Kessler guides Rush’s cancer patientsthrough the treatment process to minimizeemotional stress and maximize patients’ abilityto cope once they leave the hospital. Effectivecancer treatment heals both body and spirit —and Rush’s relationship with the AmericanCancer Society is offering patients just that.It’s community members like Robert Howell whoserve as peer counselors and mentors to fellowCORE Center patients.15 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200616

It’s the sense ofaccomplishmentthat comes fromcollaboration withChicago’s leaders.The leadership of a committed,strong BoardThe Rush Board of Trustees is charged with overseeing the activitiesof the entire Medical Center, and Rush’s success this past year, in largemeasure, is attributed to its dedicated and talented Board.While the Trustees’ role is governance, their influence and leadershipinfuse Rush with a sense of empowerment and pride. The Board iscomposed of some of the region’s most respected leaders who havechosen Rush as a worthwhile partner. As they do in their prominentroles in business, government or civic organizations, the Trusteescontribute their diverse perspectives and thoughtful insight to helpshape the Rush of the future.Representing the entire spectrum of disciplines, the Board’s membershave solid records in their chosen fields. Under their leadership, Rushhas experienced unprecedented success. Following Rush’s most successfulphilanthropic year in 2005 with another record-breaking year, theBoard has led the charge to transform not only Rush’s landscape, but thatof medicine in Chicago. And, at the center of that transformation is thevisionary spirit of the Trustees and their commitment to Rush and thecommunity it serves.It’s being an integral part of Chicago’s landscape.Being recognized as a Center of ExcellenceRush was chosen as one of only two bioterrorismpreparedness Centers of Excellence by theChicago Department of Public Health becauseof its strong commitment to disease control,emergency preparedness and the health of itscommunity. Awarded the distinction in 2002,Rush’s ability to protect the people of Chicagohas increased every year and culminated intoa blueprint for the emergency departmentof the future. Building on plans for The McCormickTribune Center for Advanced EmergencyResponse, the new facility will include state-ofthe-artdecontamination facilities, an emergencypatient surge space and a streamlined triagecenter. Additionally, in 2006 Rush was awarded aresearch grant from the Department of Defenseto design an artificially intelligent computermodule for disease surveillance. Through theseadvances and the new facility, Rush will bringan unprecedented level of emergency preparednessto Chicago and continue to exemplifywhat it means to be a Center of Excellence.A dedication to our West SideneighborhoodPatient care is at the heart of everything wedo and Rush’s commitment to the communityis a vital and long-standing part of our mission.Since our founding in 1837, we have neverwavered in our dedication to Chicago, andparticularly to the West Side. Recently publishednumbers show that Rush UniversityMedical Center and Rush Oak Park Hospital,which is managed by Rush, provided morethan $155 million in community benefits inFY06 to the West Side and to the peopleof Chicago. It’s all part of Rush’s mission toprovide the very best care for our patients.17 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200618

It’s an investmentin a vision for thefuture of medicine.A kick-off event marking thebeginning of Rush’s futureOn June 14, more than 600 people, including Chicago Mayor Richard M.Daley, other civic leaders, and Rush donors, volunteers and friends,gathered on the site of the new hospital to celebrate the public launch ofthe campaign and the beginning of Rush’s future. The kick-off event wasfollowed by celebrations that recognized the important role faculty andemployees play in the transformation of the Rush campus.The cornerstone of the campaign is the new hospital, designed to providea dynamic healing environment for patients while empowering caregiversto provide earlier diagnoses, better treatments and more effective cures.Advanced surgery and procedure suites will facilitate cooperation acrossspecialties and embrace opportunities for collaboration. The campustransformation will also include the construction of a new ambulatorycare building for orthopedics as well as major renovation and integrationof existing Rush patient care facilities. Construction planning is wellunder way, with groundbreaking for the new hospital expected in 2008.Other campaign priorities include supporting scholarships for a newgeneration of highly skilled physicians, nurses and other caregivers;enhancing translational research to move discoveries more quickly intoinnovative treatments for patients; and enriching Rush’s programs incancer, heart, orthopedics, neurosciences and women’s and newborn care.Leadership gifts from philanthropicvisionaries who make the future possibleThe Campaign for Rush University MedicalCenter entered its public phase in June 2006with gifts and pledges totaling $167 milliontoward a goal of $300 million. Several leadershipgifts and pledges jumpstarted the campaignand inspired new levels of giving: $20 millionfrom the Herb family — matching the largestdonation Rush had ever received ($20 millionfrom John and Mary Jo Boler); $13 million froman anonymous donor; $10 million in pledgesfrom the Rush medical staff and faculty; $10million from the Woman’s Board to createthe Woman’s Board Heart and EndovascularCenter; and $7.5 million from the McCormickTribune Foundation for the McCormickTribune Center for Advanced EmergencyResponse, a state-of-the-art emergency room.Award-winning firm Perkins + Willturning vision into realityThe Rush campus of the future is beingdesigned by Perkins + Will, one of the nation’smost respected firms with a rich history ofaward-winning work. The transformed MedicalCenter campus will renew and celebrate Rush’sconnection to Chicago and the West Side. Anew campus gateway on Ashland and Harrisonavenues will extend a warm welcome to thesurrounding neighborhoods, and the dramaticnew bed tower, highly visible from the EisenhowerExpressway, will communicate the vitalityof our diverse, thriving West Side location.Everything in the new hospital will focus onpatients and their families and will create ahospital experience that enhances comfortand healing.It’s the excitement generated by a detailedarchitectural model illustrating the impact ofthe Rush transformation.19 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 2006 Rush University Medical Center Annual Report 200620

What is it about Rush?It’s all these qualitiestogether that make Rush anextraordinary place of healing —one that sets the standardof excellence in patient care,research and education.Financial ReportRush University Medical Center experienced thebest financial results in its history in FY2006, reportingexcess of revenue over expense of more than$60 million. Operating revenue continued to growand increased by 2.5 percent after adjusting for theloss of $29.8 million in Medicaid reimbursementrelated to the Illinois Hospital Assessment Program.Management initiatives continued to control expensesto only 1.5 percent growth after adjusting for the taxassessment paid in FY2005 related to the Medicaidprogram. Investment and philanthropic results contributed$16.3 million to the reported net income andreflect the impact of Rush’s growing investment balancesand continued philanthropicsupport from the community. The improvement inrecent years in Rush’s financial performance combinedwith the strength and reputation of its medicalstaff, clinical programs and academic medical centermission led to Rush’s first public bond rating in morethan a decade in the A category as rated by all threerating agencies.Patient care continues to be the central focus ofRush’s mission. This was demonstrated again inFY2006 with continued growth as more patientsseek to obtain their care at Rush. Net patient revenueincreased 4.3 percent after adjusting for the loss ofreimbursement from the Illinois Hospital AssessmentProgram noted above. The research and educationendeavors of Rush continue to be key componentsof the mission and integral to support Rush’s vision tobe the medical center of choice in Chicago and recognizedon a national level as one of the best. Rushreported $93 million of research funding in FY2006from federal, state and philanthropic sources.The community continued to show its commitmentto Rush in FY2006 by providing $64.2 million in philanthropicsupport. Past giving continues to supportRush’s programs every year with an additional $13.7million of support coming from the endowment.Maintaining a strong investment portfolio is key tocontinuing this support from the endowment. Theendowment grew by 9.4 percent to a total of $388.3million in FY2006 driven primarily by investmentreturns of 11.5 percent.A key component of Rush’s mission is its relationshipwith the community, and this was furthered inFY2006 in a number of ways. In recognition ofthe growing number of people in Chicago and thesurrounding area who need assistance with theirhospital bills, Rush has increased the resourcesprovided to fund its financial assistance programs.The programs have been expanded, clarified andmore widely communicated to ensure that patientsin need are aware of what is being offered. Rush alsoprovides benefits to the community far in excess ofits financial assistance programs including fundingto research and education, subsidization of governmentprograms and a variety of outreach clinics onChicago’s West Side. In its community benefit filingfor FY2006, Rush identified $155 million of supportprovided back to the community.Rush has grand plans for its future which are closerto realization with the improvement in financialperformance. A campus transformation programis planned which will require more than $800 millionof capital investment over the next eight years.When completed, this project will provide up-to-datefacilities focused on the needs of the patient and willenable Rush to continue to provide the level of clinicalcare for which it is nationally recognized. To funda capital program of this size, Rush will need to continueto focus on improving financial performance,both to generate cash to support the project andto maintain access to the bond market at the levelof rating recently attained. Support from the communitywill also be required — Rush’s current capitalcampaign goal of $180 million to support the campustransformation program is a critical componentof funding. As a not-for-profit institution, these arethe only sources of capital funding available — allof the excess of revenue over expense generated atRush is reinvested into programs and capital. It iscritical that these sources of support continue tobe available and grow to enable Rush to execute itsplans and remain a provider of outstanding healthcare, a center for developing the future of health carethrough education and research, and a strong partnerand employer in the community we serve.Catherine A.

PhilanthropyDuring FY2006, many of Rush’s most steadfast supporters madephilanthropic contributions before the launch of the public phase of our$300 million capital campaign. Between July 1, 2005, and June 30, 2006,Rush received $64.2 million in philanthropic support, making the secondfull fiscal year of the campaign one of the most successful fundraising yearsin Rush’s history.This philanthropic support has generated excitement about Rush’s plans forthe future, but it has also enabled Rush’s caregivers, students, researchersand staff to maintain their focus on providing the very best patient careavailable. On behalf of all our patients, Rush thanks the individuals andfamilies, corporations, foundations and other organizations who supportedRush in FY2006.And with more than $60 million in research awards from external sources,including the National Institutes of Health, Rush’s researchers receiveda boost in their work to transform the future of medicine through groundbreakingresearch discoveries.For more information about giving to Rush, please contact the Officeof Philanthropy at (312) 942-6830 or giving@rush.edu.TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND SERVICES FOR 2006 — $155,223,142100,000,00075,000,00050,000,00015,000,000500,0000Charity careand financialassistanceat cost$100,436,557Unreimbursed careExpected Costs notpayments covered bynot paid reimbursements(Medicareand Medicaid)EducationalprogramsupportResearchProgramsupportSubsidizedhealthservicesLanguageassistanceservicesDonationsVolunteerServicesOthercommunitybenefits$806040200GIFTS RECEIVED BY PURPOSE($ IN MILLIONS)Facilities$15.1 /24%PHILANTHROPY RECEIVED($ IN MILLIONS)’02 ’03 ’04 ’05 ’06$64.2GIFTS RECEIVED BY SOURCE($ IN MILLIONS)$64.2EXTERNAL RESEARCH AWARDSBY SOURCE ($ IN MILLIONS)General campaign$17 / 26%Research$9.0 / 14%Special programs$16.4 / 26%Student aid$34.9 / 8%Unrestricted$1.6 / 2%Associations andother organizations$.5 / 1%Corporations$3.1 / 5%Foundations$4.6 / 7%Individuals and families$56 / 87%National Institutes of Health$42.6 /70%Other federal awards$0.4 / 1%$61.1Other public health awards$1.2 / 2%Private corporations$15.9 /26%Other$0.9 / 1%Vital StatisticsRUSH IN BRIEFDate founded............................................1837Medical staff ...............................................909Professional nursing staff..........................1,063Residents and fellows ..................................640Employees ...............................................8,170Staffed bedsRush University Medical Center ...................613Johnston R.
