Since its inception in 1959, Northwest Community Hospital has grown to become one of the premier healthcare providers in Illinois. A dedicated team of 1,100 doctors, 4,000 employees and 800 volunteers blend medical expertise with advanced technologies and comfortable environments to create a superior healthcare experience.

The 496-bed hospital in Arlington Heights serves 30,000 inpatients and 350,000 outpatients each year. Northwest Community is dedicated to the latest technologies that improve patient outcomes, such as robotic surgery. NCH is first in the northwest suburbs in 2012 to use “RIO the robot” in MAKOplasty partial knee replacements for patients with osteoarthritis.

Two years ago the hospital completed the largest expansion in its history, adding 200 private patient rooms as part of its South Pavilion project. A larger Emergency Room and new Critical Care Unit were also part of the project, which focused on patient safety, faster healing, better family comforts and the most advanced technologies. Older adults are important to Northwest Community, and that is demonstrated by the community programs and resources that promote healthy aging; physicians who partner with their older patients to encourage healthy lifestyle options; and the nationally acclaimed NICHE best-practice models that are incorporated into the inpatient experience. NCH provides a variety of health screenings and classes for older adults.
