Need help losing weight? Now you can see a Rush weight management specialist from the comfort — and privacy — of your home. 

Eager to start up an exercise routine, or even train for a marathon, in a way that’s safe and smart for your heart? We can help with that, too. 

Medical weight management and sports cardiology are the latest additions to Rush’s array of Virtual Specialty Care services, with same-day or next-day video visit appointments available. 

That’s on top of existing Rush Virtual Specialty Care for dermatology; cardiology; urology; ear, nose and throat; gynecology; and physical medicine and rehabilitation. 

So now you get even more convenient, specialized care without heading to the doctor’s office — from the nationally ranked Rush specialists you trust.
