Personalized Care
for Those We Serve

Caring for our patients is at the heart of all we do. To that end, Loyola University Hospital has an aggressive screening program to detect methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA, for every planned admission to the hospital. The testing involves DNA analysis of a nasal swab sample at the time of admission. Results are returned within two hours. This is just one example of our efforts to improve quality of care and safety of our patients.
