Rush University Medical Center Receives $10 Million Gift From Grainger Foundation

March 26, 2009, Chicago Tribune — Rush University Medical Center has landed a $10 million gift from a Lake Forest foundation for an orthopedic joint replacement surgery center at its new hospital, despite the tough fundraising landscape.

The gift from The Grainger Foundation will help Rush's effort to redevelop the entire medical center complex on Chicago's West Side, the medical center said this week. That 10-year plan, which began in 2005 and will cost more than $900 million, includes the hospital under construction, a new parking garage, power plant and emergency center.
