CHICAGO - A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday for the new Joan and Paul Rubschlager Building at Rush University Medical Center is expanding healthcare in Chicago.

"For certain challenges, medical challenges, this will be the place that will be highly recommended by doctors all over the Midwest, if not the world," Durbin said.

We're told the new building will care for 127,000 patients by 2027, which is almost double the current number of patients being treated.
