History

Overhead of the hospital complex

St. Luke's Hospital was founded in 1864.[3] The St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1885. St. Luke's merged with Presbyterian Hospital to form Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital in 1956.[4] Their nursing schools also united to create the Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing.[5]

In 1969, Rush Medical College reactivated its charter and merged with Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital to form Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center.[5] Rush University, which now includes colleges of medicine, nursing, health sciences and research training, was established in 1972. The institution officially changed its name in September 2003 to Rush University Medical Center.[5]
