Which hospital is included in the Chicago Central EMS System?

• A. Northwestern Memorial Hospital
• B. UChicago Medicine
• C. John H. Stroger, Jr., Hospital of Cook County
• D. Loyola University Medical Center

Answer: (A)

In the Chicago Central EMS System, designated receiving hospitals are chosen for centralized EMS coordination in the central city. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is included because it sits in downtown Chicago and serves as a primary receiving facility within that system. The other hospitals are outside the central-city network: UChicago Medicine serves the South Side and Hyde Park and aligns with a different EMS network; Stroger Hospital and Loyola University Medical Center operate under separate systems outside CCEMS. So, Northwestern Memorial Hospital is the hospital included in the Chicago Central EMS System.
