Evanston Northwestern Healthcare changes name to NorthShore University HealthSystem

Illinois-based Evanston Northwestern Healthcare has changed its name to NorthShore University HealthSystem. The change comes in the wake of the hospital system's decision to end its 78-year relationship with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. After a one-year transition that began July 1, medical residents and students from the training programs of the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine will begin training in 2009 at Illinois hospitals in Evanston, Highland Park, and Glenview.
