A former Sears site on the West Side will become a Rush University Medical Center for outpatient care, hospital officials announced Monday.

The 60,000-square-foot center will be just within the city limits, at North and Harlem avenues, where Chicago’s Galewood neighborhood abuts Elmwood Park, Oak Park and River Forest.
