Advocate Aurora Health exists to transform how and where care is delivered, ensuring every person in every community has access to the quality care they need. Formed in 2018 through the merger of Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care, the organization created a powerful integrated health system serving communities across Illinois and Wisconsin. In 2022, Advocate Aurora Health combined with Atrium Health to form Advocate Health, the third-largest nonprofit integrated health system in the United States.
Today, as part of Advocate Health, the legacy continues with nearly 162,000 teammates - including more than 35,000 physicians and 42,000 nurses - serving nearly 6 million unique patients across 69 hospitals and more than 1,000 sites of care. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina with operations across six states, the system delivers over $6.05 billion in community benefit annually. By integrating clinical excellence with research through Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and maintaining a commitment to health equity, the organization is building a future where everyone can live well - connecting patients, team members, and communities to better health outcomes every day.
