The system is comprised of 67 hospitals, $28 billion in net patient revenue, and delivers nearly $5 billion in community benefit.

Advocate Health Care, a part of Advocate Health, is the largest health system in Illinois and a national leader in clinical innovation, health outcomes, consumer experience, and value-based care.
