The nmhc Group return reflects the combined information and operations of eighteen tax exempt organizations. This includes nine hospital facilities, two medical groups, one foundation, and various other related entities supporting the Healthcare mission of the system. Northwestern Memorial hospital (ein: 37-0960170) ("nmh") for more than 150 years, nmh and its predecessor institutions, passavant Memorial and wesley Memorial hospitals, have served the residents of chicago.

Nmh is an academic medical center (amc) hospital and serves as the primary teaching hospital for the Northwestern university feinberg school of medicine ("feinberg"), with 2,250 physicians on the medical staff, the majority of whom have faculty appointments at feinberg. Nmh is among the limited number of hospitals in the united states to be designated as a major teaching hospital by the association of american medical colleges (aamc). According to the aamc, while major teaching hospitals represent only 5 percent of all hospitals, they account for 25 percent and 20 percent of all medicaid and medicare discharges, respectively, as well as provide 35 percent of the country's charity care. In aggregate, major teaching hospitals serve a higher proportion of low-income, dual-eligible, disabled and minority patients than other hospitals. As amcs serve as major referral centers and have very specialized expertise, they provide care to those patients who are unable to seek necessary care elsewhere and therefore have a patient population that is often more complex, sicker and more vulnerable than the general patient population.
