**ED Tours:
Please be aware of the following for the Tour of Rush's State-of-the-art ED:
This is not a 3 hour tour. We expect registrants to arrive at varying times, and tours are given on a first come, first served basis. The tour itself will take no more than 30 minutes. We will have a waiting room with coffee/light breakfast, and we will try our best to schedule a tour for you not long after you arrive to register. (If you want a tour.) Please keep this in mind for planning and travel purposes.
