About The Foundation

In 2016, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, ranked among the top ten orthopedic programs in the nation, who are team physicians for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox and Chicago Fire Soccer Club, created the Chicago Sports Summit. Now in its ninth year, the Summit features local and national sports figures, professional team management and sports industry executives discussing important and relevant topics. Proceeds from the Summit are donated to the Chicago Sports Summit Foundation. The Foundation also supports orthopedic research.
