This is a story of medicine as it moved from the pioneer care-giving era of the early 1800s to the sophisticated health settings of today. It is the story of the many colorful, caring physicians whose vision helped spawn new ways to educate caregivers and new methods to heal the sick...and of the generations of dedicated health professionals and civic leaders who, over the past 150 year, shaped one of the nation's leading academic health centers. It is the story of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center.
