The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago — named after Chicago philanthropist and former pediatric care nurse Ann Lurie, who wrote a $100 million check to build the tallest pediatric hospital in the world — opened in June 2012. Lurie replaced the old Children's Memorial Hospital's longtime cramped quarters in Lincoln Park, where it was founded in 1882. Lurie is the largest pediatric care provider in the greater Chicago area with more than 1,200 doctors in 70 pediatric specialties and 2012 operating revenue of $721.8 million.
