little city big health

If you want to work in the healthcare industry, hold a medical meeting, or just stay healthy, you'll find the Rockford Region especially welcoming. We're a major regional medical center that creates total related employment of nearly 15,000 and generates $938.8 million in annual personal income. That's big business - and a major living advantage - in anyone's eyes.

The city of Rockford is home to three major hospitals: Swedish American with 357 beds, Rockford Memorial with 396 beds and OSF St. Anthony Medical Center with 254 beds. Each of these healthcare systems is an award-winning institution that exemplifies leadership in medical services and as a community partner.

All medical specialties are practiced in Rockford, from pediatric critical care to advanced neurosurgery. Of course, there are myriad primary care clinics, wellness centers, specialty clinics, diagnostic centers, health education programs and private practices of all types flourishing in our market as well. Rockford is also home to the University of Illinois School of Medicine, offering M2 through M4 medical programs, unparalleled clinical opportunities and superb residencies in family medicine.

Rockford also hosts several unique health and wellness programs like the world-famous CHIP (Coronary Health Improvement Project) program, founded by Dr. Hans Diehl, the highly-successful Rosecrance Substance Abuse Treatment Centers, and the new NorthPointe Wellness Center in Rockton.
