Hektoen Institute of Medicine
The Hektoen Institute of Medicine represents an organization that shares the same objectives as the mission of the Research & Education Foundation. With the closing of Michael Reese Hospital, the Hektoen Institute offered to enter an affiliation with the Research & Education Foundation and provide it with a new home. This allowed the Foundation to continue its patient care and educational mission on the south side of Chicago and sustain the legacy of the once great institution that was Michael Reese Hospital.
