The Chicago North EMS System includes which hospital?

• A. Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center
• B. Northwestern Memorial Hospital
• C. Rush University Medical Center
• D. University of Chicago Medical Center

Answer: (A)

In Chicago EMS, the city is organized into regional systems, each with a designated hospital that serves as the main trauma and acute-care center for that area. This setup helps EMS providers transport patients quickly to a facility that offers the right level of care and continuous access to trauma teams and specialized services.

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center is the hospital designated for the Chicago North EMS System. Its north-side location and status as a major trauma and acute-care center make it the primary destination within that system, ensuring rapid access to the services needed for severely injured or ill patients in that region. The other hospitals listed are in Chicago and provide excellent care, but they are designated for different regions or roles within the broader system.
