Congratulations to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science on the unveiling of a stunning new 23,000 sq. ft. fully immersive clinical center designed to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals.
This is more than a new training facility. It is an innovation platform where students, healthcare professionals and regional partners can come together to experiment and solve real-world challenges.
The Virtual Health System includes simulated emergency, intensive care, operating room, labor and delivery and trauma environments, along with advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, immersive technology and 3D printing that will train 1,500+ students annually, building on 47,000+ hours of simulation-based learning completed during the 2024–25 academic year.
Lake County is home to an extraordinary concentration of life science and healthcare assets — and investments like this are positioning the community as an industry leader. We’re proud to see this kind of innovation in our own backyard, and excited about what it means for Chicagoland’s continued growth.
