Since 1981, the Kellogg Cancer Center at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) has offered state-of-the-art care for the whole person. Of all patients who are diagnosed at NorthShore, 96 percent choose to stay and continue their cancer treatment. Located at NorthShore’s Evanston, Glenbrook and Highland Park Hospitals, the Kellogg Cancer Center’s physicians and specialty nurses serve as the nucleus of a multidisciplinary team that also includes, among others, surgeons, radiation oncologists, oncology pharmacists, nutritionists and social workers. This collaborative group works tirelessly with patients and families struggling with cancer to offer the highest quality surgical and medical treatments, leading edge research and clinical trials, as well as psychosocial and other supportive care. The Kellogg Cancer Center’s approach to care has had an overall positive impact on the lives of nearly 47,000 patients and their families. NorthShore University HealthSystem is the principal teaching affiliate of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.
