THE JESSE BROWN CHICAGO VA MEDICAL CENTER
For the Health of America’s Veterans
The rally also will support the Jesse Brown Chicago VA Medical Center, which includes a 188-bed acute care facility on Chicago’s West Side and four community-based outpatient clinics. The center’s mission is to honor America’s veterans by providing exceptional care that improves their health and well-being. The Jesse Brown Chicago VA Medical Center provides care to approximately 62,000 veterans who reside in Chicago and suburban Cook County and in six counties in northwestern Indiana. They are treated by a staff of 1,800, including 180 physicians and 590 nurses. The center also plays a major role in medical education by serving as a teaching and training site for the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine.
