Narrative:
Vectored onto the [runway] 16R ILS at 2;100 [feet] due to a medical situation aircraft behind us; putting us lower and about 3 miles from a 737 ahead of us and a little above. We hit some wake turbulence putting us into a slight bank and then again pushing us to about 10 to 15 degrees of bank. The first officer immediately took control and climbed and stayed high on the glide slope for the approach and landed with no further problems.
