Born at Chicago's St. Luke's: Rumsfeld, Williams

Donald Rumsfeld and Robin Williams were born here, 162 years before Rush University Medical Center, even before Obamacare.

Escape the city racket at Chicago's St. Luke's, founded in 1864, 162 years before Rush University Medical Center and Obamacare combined. It wasn't just Donald Rumsfeld who made an appearance; Robin Williams joined the ranks on July 21, 1951. These old, brick towers bear the weight of time, telling a tale of a Catholic hospital swallowed by the sands of time. Now, it's three blocks west of Michigan Avenue shopping district, reborn as the city's leading medical center.
