SwedishAmerican Hospital


For more than 90 years, SwedishAmerican Health System has provided the very best healthcare to the people of northern Illinois. More than ever before, the health system remains focused on this important goal.

SwedishAmerican Health System has a rich, colorful history founded in the spirit of community. As the population of Rockford, Illinois, grew in the early 20th century, so did the need for quality healthcare. In response to this need, Rockford's growing Swedish community decided to build a new hospital.

In recent years, SwedishAmerican has been recognized with numerous national awards for quality and excellence, including designation as a Top 100 hospital and the Lincoln Award for Excellence – our state's equivalent to the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
