The State Purchasing Officer for this procurement is now Shirley Webb. First published Friday, February 26, 2016 The University awarded a contract for orthopedic physician services for medical training to Shriners Hospital for Children, Chicago, IL, for an estimated $520,000. Shriners Hospital for Children will provide fellowship-trained, board-certified pediatric orthopedic surgeons to provide office-based and surgical care for its pediatric patients, training for the department's orthopedic residents, and teaching for medical students on rotation in orthopedics. The orthopedic surgeons selected to provide service need to have medical staff privileges at both UI Health and another site where UIC orthopedic residents currently rotate, in order to provide clinic-based and surgical care for pediatric patients. The major affiliation agreement with Shriners is a foundational agreement signifying the commitment of both institutions to collaborate and coordinate efforts related to pediatric clinical services, medical research, and medical education and training. UIC/UI Health was chosen by Shriners as the Chicago area as the only academic medical center in the Chicago area with which Shriners would establish such an agreement. The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the Shriners Hospital for Children is the only source that offers multiple surgical specialists, trained in pediatric orthopaedic care, who are part of a hospital academically affiliated with the University of Illinois at Chicago (Major Affiliation Agreement established in 2014) For additional information, contact: John Meehan University of Ilinois at Chicago Purchasing Division (M/C 560) 809 South Marshfield Avenue Chicago, IL 60612-7203 Phone: (312) 413-5961 FAX: (312) 996-2055 Purchasing Website State Purchasing Officer - Aaron M.
