Where is Lutheran General Hospital

Why did we decide to have our triplets delivered at a hospital an hour away from home? Well, a series of events led to our decision to stick with Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge...The reason we ended up there in the first place is that our OB did not deliver triplets. Although we could have tried to search out an OB that did, we decided that a perinatologist (an OB that specializes in high risk pregnancies including multiples) would be the best option for us. Unfortunately, the most recommended group which serves as consultants for both Rush Copley and Central DuPage, only see their own paitients at Lutheran General. After meeting with the group and learning about the high level of care our babies would recieve at one of the top hospitals in the nation, we decided it would be worth the drive. We know this makes it less convient for people to come and visit, but the care just has to take priority. And look at it this way...we are only doing this once, and you get 3 for the drive of 1.
