UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook is a non-profit hospital campus in Bolingbrook, Illinois, United States that is part of a joint venture between AdventHealth and UChicago Medicine. The hospital was designated a Level II trauma center by the Illinois Department of Public Health.[1] [2] When it opened in 2008, the hospital became the newest built in the state in twenty-five years.[2] [3]

History

1977-2008

In 1977, Hinsdale Hospital applied for a certificate of need with the Illinois government to have a hospital built in Bolingbrook, Illinois. In February 1988, the certificate of need was approved for the hospital. In late July 1989, Hinsdale Hospital changed its mind about having a hospital built there, due to so many hospitals closing in the state.[4]

In early November 2001, Adventist Health System announced that it wanted a hospital built with 130 beds built onto its Bolingbrook Medical Center.[5] In late April 2004, Adventist Health System applied with the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board to have a $152 million, 138-bed hospital built in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Their request to have the hospital built was denied.[6] In early November 2004, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board approved the certificate of need from Adventist Health System to have a hospital built onto Bolingbrook Medical Center.[7] It would be built west of the Interstate 55/Illinois Route 53 Interchange.[8]

In late November 2006, a three-story, 74,298-square-foot medical office building was approved by trustees to be built north of the hospital and to be connected to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital by a heated skyway.[9] On January 14, 2008, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital officially opened to patients.[10] [11] The 300,000-square-foot hospital, became the newest in Illinois in twenty-five years after three years of construction.[2] [11]

2013-present

In late January 2013, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital requested that it be reimbursed $7.1 million, after paying property taxes to Will County from 2008 to 2011, while waiting for its tax-exempt status.[12] [13] In early December 2013, the chapel at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was named after Ron Hawkins, who served two terms on the hospitals foundation board.[14] [15]

In late June 2014, Adventist Midwest Health a subsidiary of Adventist Health System, and Alexian Brothers Health System a subsidiary of Ascension Health, signed a letter to create a joint venture company. The nine hospital company would be the third-largest in Illinois.[16] [17] On February 1, 2015, the joint venture AMITA Health was officially created by Adventist Midwest Health and Alexian Health System.[18] [19] On October 21, 2021, AMITA Health announced that it would split up.[20] [21] [22] On April 1, 2022, AMITA Health officially split up and AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook rebranded to AdventHealth Bolingbrook.[23] [24] [25]

On September 13, 2022, UChicago Medicine announced that it planned to purchase a controlling interest in the AdventHealth hospitals in Illinois.[26] [27] [28] The joint venture became official on January 1, 2023.[29] [30] [31]

Services

By late January 2015, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was still struggling to fill its beds.[32] To take care of this problem the hospital applied with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for permission to change twenty-four of its medical-surgical beds to psychiatric beds in late April.[33]
