What sets us apart
Our Skokie hospital is the only hospital in Illinois dedicated to orthopaedics and performs more orthopaedic procedures than any other hospital in Illinois.
Through our clinical trials and academic programs, we’re shaping the future of orthopaedic medicine.
Our integrated care teams bring together orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, pain specialists and therapists.
We invest in partnerships that support student-athletes, professional athletes and retired pros and community wellness at every level.
Clinical advancement is core to our mission. At our research lab in Skokie, teams collaborate on clinical trials that bring new discoveries from bench to bedside. These efforts are supported by the Endeavor Health Research Institute and integrated into care protocols across our system.
We also train the next generation of orthopaedic and spine leaders through academic programs that include physician fellowships, resident education and team-based clinical training.


We are proud to partner with professional sports teams and organizations associated with the NFL, NBA and MLS, school districts and community health leaders to extend the reach of our care. Whether we’re helping an athlete return to play or supporting a student training for their first season, our relationships help deliver specialized orthopaedic support at every level.
These partnerships include school athletic programs, sponsorships and outreach events across the Chicagoland region.
The Orthopaedic & Spine Institute is guided by nationally recognized leaders in orthopaedic surgery, spine care and physiatry.
