Advocate Health Care
In January 1995, Evangelical Health Systems Corporation and Lutheran General Health System, two faith based, values driven organizations, joined forces to create Advocate Health Care. A common Mission, Values and Philosophy for Advocate were developed from the similar mission oriented histories of both organizations.
Advocate Health Care, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, is the largest fully integrated not for profit health care delivery system in metropolitan Chicago and is recognized as one of the top 10 systems in the country. Tracing its beginnings back 100 years, Advocate has eight hospitals with 3,500 beds and the state's largest privately held full-service home health care company among its more than 200 sites of care. More than 24,500 people work at Advocate, making it one of Chicagoland's 10 largest employers and the fourth largest in the private sector.
With more than 4,600 affiliated physicians, including almost 2,000 in physician hospital organizations and about 475 in three large medical groups, Advocate has Chicago's largest economically aligned physician network. Advocate's primary academic and teaching affiliation is with the University of Illinois at Chicago Health Sciences Center.
As the number one health care network in the country, Advocate Health Care offers Chicago area consumers a wide variety of health and wellness services. In addition to acute care and outpatient services at more than 200 sites of care, Advocate brings care to you at home through its home health services, gives you special attention through such programs as Senior Advocate and Baby Advocate, works with local employers to offer wellness and fitness programs to you at work, and provides personalized service through its Health Advisor. For over 20 years, Lifeline has helped people preserve their independence by giving them the confidence to continue living in their own homes doing things for themselves. They do this by ensuring that they know whenever help is needed, it's just a button push away.
The mission of Advocate Health Care is to serve the health needs of individuals, families and communities through a wholistic philosophy rooted in their fundamental understanding of human beings as created in the image of God.
