We understand that traveling to a foreign country can be stressful.
In the beginning, I was a bit nervous.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
I was looking forward to seeing the hospital.
As a patient,
when facing the prospects of traveling outside of their geographic area,
it's a very large burden and can be particularly challenging.
Being sick is scary. Being sick and not being at home is even scarier.
You know what makes us different? We recognize that, and we can.
Our International Health Services program provides personal assistance to
patients and their families before, during and after their visit to Rush.
Every patient is given a coordinator to assist with all their needs.
Everything I needed, I found.
This coordinator will be by the patient's side throughout their entire stay.
Helping me, helping my mom to get the appointments, interpreting for us.
The coordinator will escort the patient to all their appointments,
facilitate interpreter services, assist with special dietary arrangements,
and most importantly, ensure patients are comfortable.
Rush hospital is great.
and everything about Chicago is great.
Rush physicians are part of a global community,
connecting them to other doctors and resources around the world.
Dealing and working and collaborating with local physicians,
where these patients come from,
and physical therapists and occupational therapists,
has enabled us to treat these patients as if they live right here in Chicago.
The truth is, the doctor is excellent.
Rush is ranked in neurology,
neurosurgery and orthopedics among the best hospitals in the
United States.
We have an infrastructure to support that care and be able to offer the highest
level of technology, the highest level of care delivery,
to get the best outcome. Rush has a state-of-the-art hospital. It is beautiful.
All rooms are single. The nursing care in those rooms is spectacular,
and the location is in a very safe area of Chicago,
with a wonderful hotel right across the street for the convenience of families.
Chicago is a world-class city made up of 77 culturally diverse neighborhoods.
Chicago is maybe the most architecturally beautiful city in the United States.
Chicago, to tell you the truth, I really liked it.
Chicago is really beautiful.
It has tours and everything.
Each culture has their own specific needs. We're used to accommodating them.
And then it's done pretty flawlessly.
We understand spiritual and religious traditions are important in the process of
healing. Patients have access to the chapel,
meditation room and religious services.
I recommend Rush hospital to people who are seeking a treatment.
Patients from all over the world have been choosing Rush for many years.
Contact our international office for more information on how to become a
patient at Rush.
Rush is a wonderful environment,
and I think patients find it an excellent experience routinely.
And the feedback that I get from our patients are that they are very glad they
came in. Many of them say, I wish I came earlier.
When is comes to the international office at the hospital not exaggerating,
I felt like I was one of them and not a stranger.
Welcome to Rush.
