We’ve been doing our best to spread the word about Rush’s new hospital, and we’re encouraging others to do the same by using the #NewRushHospital hashtag on Twitter. Since our dedication, ribbon-cutting and community events last week, we’ve been pleased by all the buzz.

Following is a sampling of what folks are saying about new hospital, which opens in early January. Don’t hesitate to weigh in, and to follow Rush on Twitter at @RushMedical.

Towering achievement; new Rush hospital could be Chicago's next great building; patient experience will tell if ... http://t.co/EJLBAPxQ
