Founded in 1886, and historically affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church—at one time a largely Swedish body—in 2019, it announced it would become part of NorthShore University HealthSystem. ^[4]

History

Swedish Covenant Hospital was founded as the Home of Mercy on April 1, 1886, by the Swedish Evangelical Covenant Church Mission Friends. Original records of the Home of Mercy state that the original hospital had 12 iron beds, two wooden wash stands, a bookcase, sofa, swing and a table with six chairs. ^[5]

Centers, Departments and Institutions

Chicago Brain & Spine Institute

The program incorporates complementary medicine and therapy programs as well as conventional treatment of physical therapy and pain management. It also incorporates the wellness programs at Galter Life Center (see below). ^[36]

The surgeons at the Chicago Brain & Spine Institute utilize minimally invasive spinal surgery when the situation warrants it. While the patient lies on their side, very narrow tools and a camera are inserted through a tiny opening about the size of a pen to fix the disc that is causing the discomfort, without disturbing important back muscles. The procedure is known to offer a rapid recovery and a faster return to normal activities. ^[37]

In June 2016, the Chicago Brain & Spine Institute, which was formerly known as the Chicago Back Institute, was renamed after the additional integration of neurologists and a new neurosurgeon specializing in brain surgery.
