Illinois Medical District

Illinois Medical District Live, work, learn, play — all in IMD, a healthcare innovation community located in the heart of Chicago.

The Illinois Medical District (IMD) is a special-use zoning district located just west of downtown Chicago. The District consists of 560 acres of medical research facilities, labs, biotech business incubator, raw development area, universities and more than 40 healthcare-related facilities. The District is a 24/7/365 environment that includes world-class medical centers and hospitals, with conveni

ent access to public transportation and major expressways. Governed by seven appointed Commissioners, the District is focused on expanding innovation in healthcare, medical science, information technology, biotechnology, medical devices, clean technology and supportive assisted living. The Illinois Medical District Commission (IMDC) provides service by assembling the nation’s premier concentration of healthcare facilities and providers. The IMDC fosters the economic expansion in Illinois by supporting research and development facilities, including the expansion of social service organizations that assure the health and well-being of Illinoisans with special needs; creating Illinois’ largest emergency response and disaster preparedness community; and by fostering collaboration between federal, state, county and local governmental bodies in achieving these objectives.
