The Kellogg Cancer Center at Highland Park Hospital is also expanding its array of sub - specialty

board certified internal medicine physicians who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients.
They work in partnership with patients' primary care physicians. Mr. Peterson -Hall stated
Highland Park Hospital has been awarded Nurse Magnet Status. Nurse Magnet Status
recognizes healthcare organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing and high standards in
patient care. He noted 12 additional physician practices have joined the North Shore Health
System and they now have more than 800 primary care and specialty care physicians.
Mr. Peterson -Hall stated he is pleased to report a new collaborative agreement between North
Shore and Mayo Clinic. The initial focus will be on patients with complex diagnosis and
treatment plans. They will have shared clinical trials and research, joint community education
events and Mayo overflow patients will be referred to the North Shore Health System. They
will collaborate on developing best care practices, enhanced clinical decision making and
improved patient outcomes.
North Shore is a national leader in electronic medical record technology. Patient information is
available across patient visits from a physician's office to emergency rooms. This helps patients
better manage chronic diseases.
