McGaw Medical Center Leaders Comment on Jameson Appointment

Northwestern University, primarily through the Feinberg School, is part of the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University, an academic medical center in education, research, and clinical services.

Other McGaw members are Children's Memorial Medical Center, Evanston Northwestern Healthcare, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and Jesse Brown VA Medical Center (formerly VA Chicago Health Care System). Medical students and residents receive part of their education at these hospitals, and nearly all the attending staff members have faculty appointments at the Feinberg School.

Leaders at those institutions had the following comments about Dr. J. Larry Jameson's appointment as vice president for medical affairs and dean of the Feinberg School.

Mark R. Neaman
President and Chief Executive Officer
