History
[edit]Edward Sanatorium
[edit]Founded by Eudora Hull Gaylord Spalding in 1907, as a memorial to her husband Edward Gaylord, the Edward Sanatorium was one of the first treatment centers for tuberculosis in the Great Lakes region and became a model for other such centers in the nation.[1]
In 1920, a fire destroyed the Sanatorium's main building. A new, fireproof structure was built at the cost of $150,000. [citation needed]
As the tuberculosis epidemic subsided, Edward turned its attention to other more urgent community health needs.
Edward Hospital, 1955–1987
[edit]On October 1, 1955, Edward Sanatorium officially reopened its doors as Edward Hospital, an acute-care facility with 45 beds.
Edward became a public, public entity in 1959. As the Naperville, Illinois community grew, Edward expanded, adding patient care units and providing patients with more advanced technology. In 1962, the hospital expanded to 110 beds with state-of-the-art all-electric beds, a nurse call communication system, and piped-in oxygen. Just five years later, in 1967, Edward grew to 133 beds with a $620,000 addition to the main building.
By 1981, Edward had 162 patient beds and 125 physicians. In 1984, Edward became a private, non-profit organization.
Edward Hospital, 1988–2012
[edit]In 1988, Pamela Meyer (now Pam Meyer Davis) became president and chief executive officer. Under Davis, Edward Health & Fitness Center on the Naperville campus opened, the first medically based fitness center in DuPage County, Illinois.[citation needed] (A second Edward Health & Fitness Center, in Woodridge, opened in 1997.)
In 1990, Edward Hospital introduced a comprehensive cardiac medicine program, offering open heart surgery, diagnostic services, and cardiac rehabilitation. The state's first freestanding outpatient heart center, the Edward Cardiovascular Institute, opened in 1993 and in 1998, Edward became the first healthcare facility in DuPage County to screen people for heart disease using Electron Beam CT calcium scoring (Ultra Fast Heart Scan).
The 1990s also saw the opening of the Edward Cancer Center, expansion of the emergency department, the opening of Edward Healthcare Centers in Bolingbrook, Illinois and Naperville, the acquisition of Linden Oaks Hospital (a full-service behavioral health facility) and the opening of the Center for Surgery in Naperville.
In addition, in 1992, Edward became the first hospital in Illinois to offer all private patient rooms, one of many innovations in patient care and customer service for which Edward has become known. Others include animal-assisted therapy, healing arts, concierge service, and valet parking.
Modern Healthcare magazine recognized the spectacular growth in 1998 by naming Edward as the 34th fastest-growing hospital in the U.S. and the fastest-growing in Illinois.[citation needed] In 1999, Edward reaffirmed those rankings with a "Growth Zone" announcement for its 50-acre (20 ha) Naperville campus-a $90 million renovation and expansion project to ensure high quality healthcare for a fast-growing community. Over the next couple of years, the project resulted in expanded outpatient services, expanded women's imaging services, new operating rooms for minimally invasive procedures, new mother/baby suites, and a four-floor Education Center and a 900-space parking garage.
Edward Hospital opened the first pediatric emergency department in DuPage County and also achieved a Level III designation for its neonatal intensive care unit, the highest level of care in Illinois in 2000. Additionally, in 2004, it expanded its emergency department by another 56,000-square-foot (5,200 m2) to allow for annual growth in the number of emergency visits and more private and efficient triage and treatment areas for patients.
In 2002, the 71-bed Edward Heart Hospital opened (the first of its kind in Illinois) and reinforced Edward as a national leader in complex cardiac care. That reputation was further enhanced in 2005 when HealthGrades ranked Edward #1 for cardiac surgery in the Chicago area and again in 2006 when Edward was named a Solucient Top 100 Hospital for cardiovascular care.[2] In 2004 the CEO contacted the FBI after she was made a corrupt proposal to protect her £100m plus expansion plans.[3]
In 2005 the Edward Cancer Center opened. The 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) facility doubled the previous space available for medical oncology and radiation therapy.
Also in 2005, Edward became the only hospital serving DuPage and Will Counties to achieve the Magnet designation for nursing excellence.[4] At the time, only two percent of the nation's 6,000 hospitals had been recognized with the honor by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. 2006 saw Edward expand access to convenient, high quality healthcare in Plainfield with the opening of the Edward Plainfield Outpatient Center, a 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) facility that provides Immediate Care, imaging services and community Wellness classes and events to the residents of one of the fastest-growing areas in Illinois. Edward Sleep Center and Edward administrative offices opened on Diehl Road in Warrenville as well.
The Edward Plainfield Outpatient Center is located on the 60-acre (24 ha) Edward Plainfield campus, which is also the site of a Medical Office Building (opened in 2006) and the future home to Edward Plainfield Hospital (seeking approval to build), Plainfield Surgery Center (2008) and Edward Plainfield Cancer Center (2009).
Linden Oaks at Edward began 2007 with the opening of Arabella House, an eight-bed residential care home for women with eating disorders. The home helps patients ease back into the "real world," from care in a hospital setting back to family, home, work, school. Also in 2007, Edward announced plans for a nearly $200 million "makeover" on its Naperville campus that will result in upgraded OB services, renovated and expanded surgical services, new cardiac cath capacity and a build-out of a new three-floor addition to Edward Heart Hospital. Edward closed 2007 by completing a $49.7 million, three-floor, 76,000-square-foot (7,100 m2), 42-bed addition to the Edward Heart Hospital building. The expansion includes 28 beds for medical/surgical patients and 14 beds for intensive care unit patients.
Edward was ranked as the 10th largest hospital in the Chicago area by Crain's Chicago Business in 2007, is the largest employer in Naperville, and is the busiest hospital in DuPage County for inpatient discharges, births and emergency visits, according to the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council.
In 2008, Edward's growth in the southwest suburbs continued with the openings of the Plainfield Surgery Center on the Edward Plainfield campus and Edward Healthcare Center in Oswego. On the Naperville campus, Edward addressed the increased demand for services with the completion of a two-floor, 360-space addition to the South Parking Deck.
Edward Cancer Center kicked off RapidArc, radiation therapy technology that treats patients up to eight times faster than conventional or helical IMRT delivery systems.
Today, Edward Hospital & Health Services is a full-service, regional healthcare provider. As of 2016[update], Edward Hospital has 354 private patient rooms and 7,700 employees, including 1,340 nurses and a medical staff of more than 1,900 physicians, representing nearly 100 medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties. Ninety-eight percent of Edward's physicians are board certified.[5][6]
Edward also provides imaging technology, care for critically ill newborns, minimally invasive surgery, newest clinical trials and behavioral health services through Linden Oaks at Edward.
Merger with Elmhurst Memorial Hospital and NorthShore University Health System, 2013 - today
[edit]In July 2013, Edward Hospital merged with Elmhurst Memorial Hospital to create a new healthcare system currently called Edward-Elmhurst Health.
In 2018, Edward-Elmhurst Health announced that it had overestimated its revenues by $92 million over several years. After revealing the error, CEO Mary Lou Mastro stated that the hospital system had made corrections to its accounting systems.[7]
Edward Hospital was ranked the #8 hospital in Illinois and in the Chicago region by U.S. News & World Report in their 2021 Best Hospitals rankings.[8]
In January 2022, Edward-Elmhurst and NorthShore University HealthSystem completed their merger, creating the third-largest health system in Illinois, with 9 hospitals.[9][10]
