Inpatient Care
Adults with cystic fibrosis who need hospitalization are admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago. The current state-of-the-art facility was rebuilt and opened in 1999. The hospital's inpatient rooms are all private rooms, and visitors are allowed 24 hours a day; day beds are available for visitors who wish to spend the night.
The hospital facility includes a food court for additional dining options, coffee shops, gift shops, and book store. Parking is available adjacent to the main hospital. Individuals with CF are admitted to 14 East, a general medicine pulmonary unit, where the medical, nursing and respiratory therapy staffs are familiar with cystic fibrosis care.
