Two UI Health specialty programs have been recognized as “High Performing” in the U.S. News & World Report 2018–19 Best Hospitals Rankings.
The University of Illinois Hospital was rated High Performing in Nephrology and Cancer Services in the U.S. News rankings, one of more than 1,100 to be named High Performing in at least one specialty.

Our multidisciplinary teams of specialty doctors, radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, surgeons, and other care providers work together to develop the best treatment plan for every patient.
