History

On July 1, 1899, six 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 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

OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center operates a Level I trauma center. The emergency department has 19 rooms with a total of 24 beds.[3] Since 1981, the Lifeline Emergency Helicopter Service has been based at the OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center. The medical center also operates the Regional Heart Institute and the Center for Cancer Care.[4][5] Finally, the Illinois Neurosciences Institute is located at the medical center.[6]

Awards

In 2005, the American Nurses Credentialing Center awarded OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center with "Magnet" status.[2][7] This is the highest national recognition of nursing excellence that a hospital can receive.
