Children's Memorial Hospital

Children's Memorial Hospital was a pediatric hospital in Chicago. The main hospital was built in the 1960s and located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on the north side of the city. In June 2012 the staff moved 170 patients and their parents, traveling by ambulance and escorted by the Chicago Police and Fire Departments, 3 miles south to the newly built Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Redevelopment of the site has become a hotly contested political issue.
