Name one of the participating hospitals in Region 11.

• A. St. Mary Medical Center.
• B. Advocate Christ Medical Center.
• C. Loyola Medicine Regional Hospital.
• D. Mount Sinai Chicago.

Answer: (B)

In Region 11’s EMS system, which hospitals participate as designated receiving facilities, a major factor is being an officially listed regional partner with trauma and emergency care capabilities. Advocate Christ Medical Center fits this role: it’s a large, well-known trauma center in Oak Lawn, IL, and is explicitly included as a participating hospital in Region 11’s EMS plan. That connection to the regional network is what makes it the correct example.

The other options don’t fit Region 11’s participating list. St. Mary Medical Center is located in Hobart, Indiana, outside the Illinois Region 11 footprint. The term Loyola Medicine Regional Hospital isn’t a recognized Region 11 participating facility, since Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood is the known Loyola Medicine site and the labeled “Regional Hospital” doesn’t align with Region 11’s roster. Mount Sinai Chicago isn’t listed as a Region 11 participating hospital either.
