Which hospital is associated with the Chicago South EMS System?

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

Answer: (A)

In Chicago EMS, hospitals are grouped by geographic regions, and the South System centers around the south side of the city. The University of Chicago Medicine sits on the South Side, in Hyde Park, and serves as the primary tertiary care and trauma center for that region, making it the hospital associated with the Chicago South EMS System. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is downtown on the Near North Side and is linked to the North System, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center is in Lincoln Park and also aligned with the North area, and Loyola University Medical Center is in Maywood and part of a different (west/suburban) network. So the hospital tied to the Chicago South EMS System is the University of Chicago Medicine.
