On Nov. 13, Rush Oak Park Hospital opened a new food pantry in its Emergency Department — a vital expansion of Rush’s Food Is Medicine program. The pantry will provide fresh produce, pantry staples and protein to patients facing food insecurity, reinforcing Rush’s commitment to treat health holistically — starting with access to nutritious foods. Made possible by a generous gift from the Jean and John Brennan family, this initiative continues their family’s decades-long legacy of service and support for Rush and our community. Together, we’re nourishing health — without boundaries. Learn more: https://rsh.md/4a6NtFE

💬 “Don’t wait six hours for a cough.” - Ben Wolfe, Director of Digital Transformation, Rush University System for Health At the Becker’s Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago, Ben shared how Rush is rethinking care navigation by meeting patients where they are, on their phones. When low-acuity patients leave the ED, Rush now sends a follow-up text directing them to a provider who can see them in 20 minutes next time. It’s a simple shift with huge impact: faster access, better routing, reduced ED strain, and a consumer experience that feels intuitive. This is exactly the kind of digital-first redesign leaders across the country are exploring right now. 📅 Want more conversations shaping consumer experience, access, and digital strategy? Join 3,500+ executives at Becker’s 16th Annual Meeting, April 13–16, 2026, in Chicago. 🔗 Explore the agenda: https://hubs.ly/Q03TtdGd0 #BeckersAnnualMeeting #DigitalHealth #PatientExperience #HealthIT #AccessToCare #HealthSystemInnovation
