Swedish Hospital
Serving a multicultural population of more than 2.7 million people speaking 40 different languages on the northwest side of Chicago, Swedish Hospital serves its community with a Level 2 trauma center, general and open-heart surgeries, two birthing units, in- and outpatient oncology care, mental health services, hospice care, and community outreach programs. CAP has consistently ranked Swedish Hospital’s lab among the top 10% for cost-effectiveness, turnaround times (TAT), and specimen acceptability in peer comparisons from 2000 to 2020.
