About Company

Cook County Health has served the people of Cook County for more than 180 years and has a proud legacy as a leader in advancing health care. Our history includes the establishment of the first blood bank, the first successful open-heart surgery, the first comprehensive trauma center in the U.S., the discovery of sickle cell anemia, and more. Take a look back at the history of John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital and Provident Hospital.   

Today, we are investing in our health system’s network and modernizing services for patients. This includes growing capacity, adopting cutting-edge technology, and conducting innovative research.

In addition to our hospitals and health centers, we operate CountyCare, largest Medicaid managed care plan in the region and the Cook County Department of Public Health, the nationally accredited public health department serving suburban Cook County. ​

At Cook County Health, we care for everyone, regardless of ability to pay or immigration status. We aim to create a health system that is a provider of choice for all, ensure access to high-quality care, and elevate the health of Cook County.​

While we have evolved over the past 180 years, our mission remains the same: ensuring that all may live their healthiest life.​
