At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, excellence starts with the people we serve. We're proud that our Neurology and Neurosurgery program is ranked No. 2 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for 2026 – 2027, with six specialties ranked among the nation's top five.
This recognition reflects the dedication of our physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, researchers and staff, as well as the trust our patients and families place in us every day. Thank you to the patients and loved ones who allow us to be part of their care journey and inspire us to continue advancing neuroscience and improving outcomes.
