Chicago hospital gets more than $25 million in upgrades

Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital has made infrastructure improvements over the last nine months


Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago's Uptown has made a series of infrastructure improvements over the last nine months, according to an article on the Crains Chicago Business website.

Pipeline Health has invested more than $25 million in the 236-bed hospital, including transitioning to a new electronic medical record system, renovating the parking structure, upgrading equipment and adding medical staff.
