NorthShore Foundation

Philanthropy helped NorthShore University HealthSystem discover the whooping cough vaccine over a century ago. And it continues to help us open doors to tomorrow’s discoveries, today.

Today, backed by the combined strength of four hospitals, over 75 medical group offices and a vast physician network, NorthShore’s reach extends across the region. Both our academic partnership with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, and the leading-edge work underway at our own Research Institute, reflect our dedication to excellence.

These strengths uniquely position NorthShore Foundation to make a difference. And you can be a part of it!

The time, energy and generosity of our volunteers and donors make life-changing programs possible.

Your support fuels medical excellence across NorthShore’s clinical programs. Just one example? The Guided Patient Support program gives patients at our Kellogg Cancer Center a nurse advocate to guide and support them through every step of their treatment, from diagnosis to recovery.

Your contributions support our continuing medical education, scholarships and fellowships. Programs like Nursing STARs prepare the next generation of nurses for leadership roles in nursing excellence.

Any type of assistance—be it a donation of time, resources or funds—makes a real, lasting impact.

Your donations make innovative research possible, moving findings from the lab to the bedside. Discoveries made at our Research Institute position NorthShore as a leader in medical science, which in turn brings the latest therapies to our patients.

Your help enables NorthShore to provide greater access to care for the medically underserved. Be Well-Lake County, for example, is a comprehensive diabetes program that treats and educates underserved patients, providing on-site testing, nutrition support… even fitness center memberships.

Your time and energy can make a real, tangible difference! The enthusiastic, dedicated members of various NorthShore Auxiliary Groups have been responsible for raising in excess of $20 million for NorthShore Foundation. Each group offers many ways to get involved.

Every person who partners with NorthShore Foundation makes a difference for our patients and our community, in their own unique way. Do you want to be a part of that transformation? We are grateful for the partnership of our donors and volunteers, and we would be honored to have yours.
