Better Care for the community

Northwestern Medicine is beginning a campus development project at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital to allow us to better serve patients
​and the community. The project is being launched in response to the ongoing need for more patient care services and expanded access to patient care.

During the project, we will add a parking garage and two new patient care pavilions to the hospitals. This will allow us to:

• Increase the total number of hospital beds to 210, including 168 inpatient beds, 24 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds and 18 postpartum beds
• Relocate and expand the Emergency Department with more diagnostic imaging equipment capabilities
• Improve access to care
• Continue to grow specialty care services​
  ​
  

The project’s architecture and design will complement the current design of the hospital and the surrounding landscape.

• Native plants and plentiful areas of green space will contribute to the healing environment of the campus
• Walking trails away from construction areas will continue to be open to the public
