The Evanston Hospital Corporation (EHC) has recently
launched a major research initiative to move it into
the top 10 independent hospitals in the nation.  Effective
October 1, 1996, EHC has created a research
corporation that builds upon its major relationships
with Northwestern University's Evanston Campus
and the Northwestern University Medical School in
downtown Chicago.

Although Evanston Hospital Corporation has had ongoing
activities in research for over fifty years, this
represents a significantly heightened emphasis for
research.  With the formation of the Evanston
Northwestern Healthcare research corporation, three
new positions have been created and are currently
available.  If you are interested or know of anyone
with potential interest in one of the three positions
listed below, please fax, email, or send a letter stating
that interest and enclose a resume to the following:
