Children’s Memorial Hospital was founded in 1882 as the
Maurice Porter Memorial Hosptial, an eight-bed cottage at Halsted and Belden.
The city’s first hospital dedicated to children, it was started by wealthy,
philanthropic widow Julia Foster Porter. Porter was a reclusive woman who wore
all black, the result of losing her father, husband and son in the span of six
years. She named the hospital after her firstborn son who died at 13 years old
of acute rheumatism.

This hospital had two initial locations, Belden and Halsted and then 909 W Fullerton Avenue between 1892 and 1897

Once located on the northwest corner area of Montrose and Clarendon avenues. A Frank Cuneo, Jr. donated the original building to Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an organization founded by Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini, a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. By 1957 the hospital expanded east across the street on Clarendon Avenue
this building would be ulimately be replaced by the
Maryville Academy by the 1970's
The Newer Hospital
Frank Cuneo Memorial Hospital, a 140-bed women and
children’s hospital, was dedicated by Cardinal Stritch in 1957 in a
ceremony attended by Mayor Richard J. Daley. The hospital was built for the
Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, who also built Columbus Hospital at
2520 N. Lakeview. The hospital was endowed first by Frank Cuneo and then by his
son John F. Cuneo, Sr. John Cuneo.

Established in 1887 when Lake View citizens voted for a city charter (1887-1889) was the establishment of the Chicago Daily News 'open-aired' sanitarium. The property was located north of Fullerton Avenue and at the time north of Lincoln Park, the park before park was land-filled northward. One of the most common and pervasive approaches for people with the most common pulmonary diesease was the treatment of rest
and fresh air of patients.

This hospital struggled with zoning and federal tax issues from 1944 to 1955. This hospital was rezoned and later converted from an stately mansion estate to a hospital and then to high-rise residential building. All the buildings within the concrete wall was razed by 1959 to make way for the skyscaper of a building.

The Beginning of the End
In 1998 this hospital failed a young man in need.
According this article 'One friend ran inside the hospital and got two police officers to rush to Christopher’s aid. The officers and witnesses begged hospital staff to assist, but they demurred citing hospital policy that forbid them to exit the building. The officers on scene were also bound by protocol to not move injured people and wait for paramedics. At 6:23pm a request for an ambulance went out over police radio. Ignoring protocol one of the officers finally commandeered a wheelchair and rushed Christopher into the emergency room with a barely detectable pulse.' Christophers' death received US presidential admonishment according to Jet magazine in 1998. Ravenswood Hospital CEO John Blair got an earful from
employees and local residents in the weeks after he announced a proposed merger
between Advocate Health Care, which owns Ravenswood, and Illinois Masonic
Medical Center. Blair took great pains to point out that this wasn’t just a
merger between his hospital and Illinois Masonic, but that the two were the
biggest hospitals in what Advocate envisioned as a new “multisite
health-delivery system for the North Side.” He explained, “The driving factor behind the deal is
declining reimbursement, from federal and state government as well as HMOs and
PPOs. Although we have cut our costs, we’re projected to lose $24 million over
the next five years. At Illinois Masonic that figure is $30 million over the
same period. That’s not a viable economic model.” - TheeErin/Flickr 2000

It's Replacement
In the late summer or early fall of 2015, if all goes
according to plans, the doors will open on a new, multi-story, dual-language
French and English international school near the corner of Damen and Wilson
avenues in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood. The school’s address will be 1929
W. Wilson Ave., which is just east of Damen, at the site of the former
Ravenswood Hospital. Construction of the new school campus is set to begin next
month. (The school is operating now, and has been for almost 20 years, on the
lakefront near the intersection of Irving Park Rd. and Marine Dr., at 613 W.
Bittersweet Place.) The name of the school, the Lycée Français de Chicago,
literally translates from French as “the French High School of Chicago.”
However, this school, which was started by a small group of international
parents in Chicago in 1995, has much broader ambitions: the school teaches
toddlers as young as 3, all the way up to teenagers of 17 or 18 ready for
college.

Dr. Samuel Burrows founded the Burrow's Hospital and held the title of head surgeon. The hospital was established in 1927 and apparently closed by the mid 20th century. According to a 1930 Chicago Daily News article his father Thomas (retired?) was also a doctor who resided in the same hospital, former hotel, til his death in September 1930.

This training hospital was named after John Benjamin Murphy who advocated his professional life in the treatment of appendicitis to prevent complications. He performed one of the first operations in early acute appendicitis in 1889. Once located at 628 W Belmont Avenue the 'Lake View Hospital Association & Training School for Nurses' was established as early as 1910.

1923 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Beginning modestly when a caring company of men and
women, members of a Baptist Sunday School Class, resolved to build a hospital
to meet the health needs of their community, the hospital emerged into a major
Masonic enterprise dedicated to healing of the ills of humankind. "When it
became obvious that the hospital enterprise involved more than could be managed
by members of a well-intentioned Sunday School Class, most of them were Masons
or members of the Eastern Star, leaders of the hospital turned to the Masonic
Order. It was a fortuitous development since Masons were planning to develop a
hospital to provide care for their own, and in 1921 purchased the Union
Hospital and named it Illinois Masonic Hospital. - The Burning Taper

a care unit for HIV patients
M.K. Czerwiec worked at Illinois Masonic Hospital's
dedicated HIV/AIDS ward, known as Unit 371, from 1994-2000, her first job out
of nursing school—and it definitely changed her life.
"Who I am today is profoundly informed by the time I
spent in that place and the people I met there," Czerwiec said.
"Around 2005, when I wanted to learn some details about Unit 371 that I
didn't know, such as how it started, I felt certain that a simple Internet
search would reveal great stories of this place. But there was nothing. I
couldn't find any information about it. So I decided that, as part of my
Master's [degree] in Medical Humanities and Bioethics at Northwestern, I would
begin the process of documenting the history of Unit 371. Unit 371 became a model for AIDS units at medical centers
across the U.S. This medical unit was the creation of two men - David Blatt & David Moore

Opening the doors to what was then known as Providence
Hospital in a converted summer house near what is now the intersection of Clark
Street and Diversey Avenue in what was then the town[ship] of Lake View in June 30,
1869. It was predated by Mercy Hospital, which opened near Rush Street and the
Chicago River in 1852. By the time the Daughters of Charity opened their
hospital, Mercy had relocated to the South Side. The Daughters of Charity
hospital — named St. Joseph when it opened its first purpose-built building at
what is now Burling Street and Dickens Avenue — is celebrating its 150th
anniversary this year. - Chicago Catholic

Post Note:
The Pandemic Covid-19
On Dec. 31, 2019, Chinese authorities alerted the World
Health Organization of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, Hubei province, China,
with an unknown cause. What started as a mystery disease was first referred to
as 2019-nCoV and then named COVID-19.
At that time, nearly 120,000 cases and 4,000 deaths from
the virus had been reported across 118 countries. COVID-19 had just started to
take a grip in the United States, leading to the first-known cases and deaths
just weeks before the calendar flipped to March. When the WHO declared COVID-19
as a pandemic, there were many unknowns about the virus itself and its
ramifications on public health, but the main focus was to limit its spread and
severity of illness. Ultimately, the declaration came with a realization that
the novel coronavirus would be unavoidable for months to come and possibly
longer. By the end of the week, COVID-19′s impact could be felt in several
aspects of life, including education, business, politics, sports and
entertainment. Mask mandates and virus testing had not yet been the norm, but
cities began shutting down, employers shifted to remote working and school
closures piled up in efforts to limit the spread. - KY3

a 2020 report from WGN
Wrigley Field is chipping in
CHICAGO – Without any sports to host, venues are finding
a new and important purpose during the COVID-19 pandemic. The United Center has
been up and running as a logistics hub for the past few weeks, with boxes
filling up a floor on which the Bulls and Blackhawks would normally compete on
at this time of the year. Wrigley Field would be in the first month of hosting
games for the Cubs during the 2020 season, but due to the pandemic, it sits
empty as the middle of April approaches. On Tuesday, the Cubs announce that
Wrigley Field along with neighboring Hotel Zachary will be used in the local
COVID-19 response efforts over the coming weeks or months. The concourse of the
ballpark will be used as food packing and distribution center for Lakeview
Pantry. This effort will start this week and take place every Monday-Saturday
from 9 AM to 4 PM for the foreseeable future. This Saturday, the pantry will
begin distribution services at Wrigley Field and will continue every Tuesday
and Saturday until further notice. As for Hotel Zachary, it will serve as a
host for health care workers from now until April 30th for health care workers
at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Each worker will keep the same
room the entire time and be allowed to have food delivered to the hotel. - WGN

Shelter-in-Place
like the rest of the city
From the Chamber of Commerce
News in April 16, 2020
From Shelter-in-Place
to Re-opening with Guidelines
in June 2020
“Since COVID-19 arrived in Chicago, we have been guided
by the data when making decisions about necessary steps to protect people and
keep from overwhelming our healthcare system,” said CDPH Commissioner Allison
Arwady, M.D. “This doesn’t mean COVID is gone, it simply means transmission
levels are lower than they have been during surges. I still encourage people to
take precautions and definitely get vaccinated to protect yourself and your
loved ones.” The vaccine requirement for restaurants, bars, gyms and other indoor
public settings where food and beverages are served went into effect on January
3 in response to the alarming rise in COVID-19 cases both locally and
nationally, driven in part by the Omicron variant. More Chicagoans were hospitalized with
COVID-19 during the Omicron surge than at any prior point in the pandemic and
the great majority of these hospitalizations were in unvaccinated
Chicagoans. Masks will continue to be
required in health care settings, on public transit, and in other congregate
settings. As the City transitions its mitigation measures to remove the mask
requirement, many Chicagoans will continue to wear masks in public spaces for a
variety of reasons, even if they are vaccinated. For example, after 5 days of
isolation or quarantine, masks will continue to be required in days 6-10 in
public spaces, as they are now. - City of Chicago
