Commitment To Our Patients
"I have been exposed to so many different patients in my training - different cultural groups, different and unique disease processes. I don't think I would have had the same opportunities at many other programs."

If you believe all children deserve 

        quality healthcare regardless 

                  of  their ability to pay...

At John H. Stroger, Jr.  Hospital of Cook County, our mission is to provide high quality care for all pediatric patients regardless of their parents' ability to pay. At Stroger Hospital, we meet the emergency, inpatient, and critical care needs of acutely and chronically ill patients. As a part of the Cook County Bureau of Health Services, we provide primary health care to children from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds. Stroger Hospital is the only "safety-net" hospital in Chicago and has a long, proud tradition of serving the neediest patients.  We are "the" hospital for many families who have been served by County physicians for generations. 

At a time when public hospitals across the country are closing, Cook County has built a new hospital. Building, too, on over a century of experience in urban medicine, we are continuing to establish more community-based clinics to improve the health of our neighborhoods. 

We seek residents who possess a strong commitment to improving the lives of underserved children and families in an urban environment. We expect most graduates to enter primary care, well trained and prepared to serve the community in which they will practice.  We hope that you can meet this challenge and join our family.
