In 2018, Federal authorities announced they were pulling funding from the hospital under investigation following numerous allegations of sexual abuse, assault and patient safety violations. All children in state care were removed from the facility after the ACLU of Illinois took action.

Federal authorities terminated Lakeshore's Medicare agreement Dec. 15. Several people familiar with the issue expect that Medicaid decertification will follow.

Previously, in 2011 this hospital was cited for poor staffing, lax oversight, and rape occurring at the facility [1]

Chicago Lakeshore Hospital opened its children's psychiatric center in 2013.[2]
