Edward Hospital employees are well known for their friendly spirit. In fact, Edward consistently ranks near the top in the nation for employee satisfaction scores. Our helpful spirit also extends to our commitment to give back to the community. Edward is one of the leading providers of charity care in the region, helping families who need financial assistance. Our goal is to make every moment you spend at Edward Hospital as comfortable and stress-free as possible. This mindset dates back to 1991, when Edward became the first hospital in Illinois to offer all private rooms. In the years since, we’ve introduced more innovations in comfort, like space for family to spend the night, peaceful healing gardens, and a pediatric ER designed with a fun nautical theme.
