About Us

The same doctors, clinics and hospitals you know and trust for compassionate, personalized care in your neighborhood are now Ascension Illinois. That means, your caregivers still listen to understand you so we can provide the care that’s right for you.

With 14 hospitals and over 150 sites of care, you'll always be connected to the right care, at the right place and at the right time. Get the care you need, when you need it, close to home.
