Hektoen Institute

USA / Illinois / Chicago /
The Hektoen Institute was founded by a group of dedicated physicians and public minded citizens and incorporated in 1943 to support research and educational programs designed to train physicians and other health professionals in the County of Cook. It was named in honor of Ludvig Hektoen, who was then the director of the John McCormick Institute and professor of pathology at Rush Medical College, and who was considered to be one of the first to devote himself prominently and consistently to medical science. He interned at Cook County Hospital in 1887.
