John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County — Chicago, IL

John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital — the public hospital Chicagoans still call Cook County — runs one of the nation's busiest Level I trauma centers and cares for the city's most medically complex patients regardless of ability to pay.

• One of the nation's busiest Level I trauma centers; the trauma program averages about 5,500 admissions a year, roughly 35% of them penetrating injuries.
• The emergency department treats about 120,000 adults and children a year — high-volume, high-acuity work for ED and trauma nurses.
• America's first comprehensive trauma center built solely for the acutely injured (since 1966) and the only freestanding trauma department in the country — a demanding, high-acuity setting for trauma and critical-care nursing.
• An American Burn Association–verified burn unit (a 6-bed burn unit and 14-bed burn wound-care unit) treats more than 1,500 burns a year, including over 400 inpatient burn admissions across adult and pediatric patients — a specialty exposure that's hard to find elsewhere.
• A self-contained trauma footprint — a 15-bed resuscitation area and a 12-bed trauma ICU — keeps the sickest patients with the same teams from arrival through discharge.
• A 450-bed public teaching hospital that trains physicians, nurses, and advanced providers, with dedicated medical/surgical, ICU, NICU, obstetric, and pediatric units.
