Illinois Poison CenterMetropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council Conference Center222 South Riverside Plaza,
19th Floor
The Illinois Poison Center (IPC) and the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council Conference Center is located at 222 S. Riverside Plaza, which is the office building above Union Station. The office building lobby can be accessed directly from the main entrance on Adams Street. It is also connected via an underground tunnel to Union Station Self Park at 320 S. Canal Street (entrances on Canal Street and Clinton Street.) To access the office building from Union Station or the underground tunnel, take the escalator from the Amtrak ticket area toward Canal Street. Instead of exiting to Canal Street, go up the stairs and through the revolving doors to the office building lobby. Another option is to enter from ground level on Canal Street and proceed up the stairs to the revolving doors. The security staff at the lobby desk will give you a visitor pass. You will need to show photo identification. Metra TrainThe IPC is in the building located above Union Station (see above details.) The Ogilvie Transportation Center is located at Canal Street and Madison Street, which is two blocks north of the IPC. CTA “L” TrainThe IPC is within a short walking distance of two L stops. One is the brown/orange/purple line Quincy/Wells Street stop, which is just south of Adams Street and three blocks east of the IPC. The other is the blue line Clinton Street stop, which is two blocks south and one block west of the IPC. Detailed public transportation information can be found at www.transitchicago.com. The dress code is business casual (no jeans/shorts). You do not need a white coat. The IPC is a call center and therefore there is no direct patient contact. Monday teaching rounds begin at approximately 9:30 a.m. There is usually a journal club starting at 9:00 a.m. The articles are posted at www.toxikon.org. The log on is “toxikon” and the password is “playdoh.” IPC days are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please note that some toxicology rotators are dismissed after rounds, but Loyola students and other IPC rotators are to report to the chief CSPI or shift supervisor on duty in the IPC at the conclusion of rounds for the afternoon portion of their day. If you have any questions about the IPC day, please contact Dr. Hantsch Bardsley (chantsc@lumc.edu.).
