NorthShore University HealthSystem has become a partner of Pro Football Hall of Fame Health joining other health systems in providing care to former National Football League players, employees and their families, according to an Aug. 3 news release.
Patients will have access to Evanston, Ill.-based NorthShore's network, which includes more than 4,250 physicians and NorthShore Orthopaedic & Spine Institute, the only spine and orthopedic specialty hospital in the state.
"The partners that continue to join us are the best of the best, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to have these premier institutions, health systems, and physician groups — some of the most accomplished in the world — come alongside us in our mission as we look to impact lives across the country," said Jeremy Hogue, CEO of Hall of Fame Health.
The move to add NorthShore is part of an initiative between the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Sovereign Healthcare to address the health of former football players and their families.
