Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital

Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, registered as a corporate entity and operating under the name Trading Post Gift Shop, is a non-profit hospital located in Lake Forest, Illinois. As a healthcare institution, the hospital is registered in SAM.gov and maintains an active registration through August 2025, indicating its eligibility to participate in federal grant opportunities. While not holding a federal contract vehicle, the hospital has been active in receiving federal grant sub-awards, primarily through partnerships with state emergency management and healthcare research organizations.

The hospital's federal grant sub-awards demonstrate involvement in emergency management and medical research initiatives. Specifically, Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital has received sub-awards from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security, including labor-related grants with descriptions such as "FORCE ACCOUNT LABOR" and "AGENCY LABOR" covering periods from July 2022 to May 2023. Additionally, the hospital has engaged in medical research collaborations, as evidenced by a sub-award from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago involving a neurologist consultation. In this grant, Dr. Avram Fraint, a board-certified neurologist from Northwestern Medicine, served as a consultant, with the hospital providing specialized medical expertise and research coordination support through a local project coordinator and a neurologic physical therapist. These grant activities suggest the hospital's capabilities in providing specialized medical personnel, research support, and emergency management labor resources to federal and state-level agencies.
