OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center is a hospital located in Rockford, Illinois, USA. The medical center is part of the OSF Healthcare System.
History
[edit]On July 1, 1899, six of the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis moved to Rockford at the request of the citizens to open a hospital.[1] The order had previously moved to America from Prussia in 1875, when Otto von Bismarck banned religious orders from the country.[1] With the help of the real estate agent William Crotty, the sisters were able to purchase a house on the corner of East State St. and Summit St. Community members donated the supplies and furniture for the first hospital.[2]
Services
[edit]OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center operates a Level I trauma center. OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center has the only trauma center verified by the American College of Surgeons in Illinois outside of the Chicago metropolitan area.[3] The emergency department has 17 rooms with a total of 24 beds.[4] Since 1981, the Lifeline Emergency Helicopter Service has been based at Saint Anthony. The medical center also operates Rockford Cardiovascular Associates.[5][6] The Illinois Neurosciences Institute is located at the medical center.[7] OSF SAMC surgeons perform 60% of open heart surgery cases in Rockford, making OSF SAMC the community leader in open heart surgery.
Awards
[edit]In 2005, the American Nurses Credentialing Center awarded OSF the center "Magnet" status,[2][8] the highest national recognition of nursing excellence that a hospital can receive.
