Hospitality Coordinator Service for Surgery Patients and Families
Many of our guests travel long distances to have surgery at the University of Chicago Medical Center. To meet the special needs of our surgery patients who come from more than 30 miles away, we offer the Hospitality Coordinator Service. This free service is available from the moment you contact the Medical Center through the end of your hospital stay.
