Serving Chicago’s northwest suburbs since 1959, Northwest Community Hospital is a comprehensive, not- for-profit, patient-centered system of care with dozens of locations throughout the area, anchored by a 509-bed hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The health system, which serves more than 200,000 outpatients and more than 20,000 inpatients annually, provides award-winning care that has been recognized on a national level. In January 2021, NCH joined NorthShore University HealthSystem, a fully integrated healthcare delivery system headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, that now comprises six hospitals.
NCH is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors who are community members and business leaders who set the direction of the organization and each of its wholly owned affiliates and subsidiaries.
