We cannot accommodate events with less than two weeks' notice. We require at least four weeks’ notice for clinical requests (e.g., vaccinations, testing, etc.).

Sponsorship Requests

RUSH University Medical Center and The Office of Community Health Equity and Engagement exist to improve the health of individuals and diverse communities we serve on the West Side of Chicago, through the integration of outstanding patient care, education, research, and community initiatives and partnerships.

Excellence in healthcare also requires us to be the best possible stewards of our financial resources. At the same time, we recognize our role as an anchor institution in our region, and that we are an important partner in our community.

For more information, please review RUSH’s sponsorship request policy linked below.
