Pulse Gift Shop

Pulse Gift Shop is a hidden gem in the heart of the Northwestern Medical Campus in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, just steps off of Magnificent Mile. One would not expect to find this kind of store in the lobby of a hospital, yet Pulse stands out in truly unexpected ways. It’s found in the Galter Pavilion on the 2nd Floor. Not only can you find an eclectic array of gifts and accessories to choose from, but what makes this store truly unique is the selection of high end, avant garde clothing that can’t be found elsewhere. Hard-to-find designers such as Sun Kim, and flowy, deconstructed brands such as Comfy USA are in abundance in this store, and the staff is always helpful to find that perfect look to compliment your artsy, chic style. What makes Pulse Gift Shop truly unique is that it is run by The Women’s Board of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and ALL proceeds from every sale goes to services benefiting women/patient services within the hospital, so the synchronicity between chic fashion and charitable giving is beautifully represented in such a unique way, through Pulse Gift Shop. Browse amazing products, walk away with something fabulous, and generously give to others in the process … it’s a win-win for all!
