Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital (doing business as UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook)[2][3] 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 is a primary stroke center[4] and also a designated Level II trauma center by the Illinois Department of Public Health.[5] When it opened in 2008, the hospital became the newest built in the state in twenty-five years.[6][7]

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.[8]

In early November 2001, Adventist Health System announced that it wanted a hospital built with 130 beds built attached its Bolingbrook Medical Center.[9] 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.[10] In early November 2004, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board approved the certificate of need from Adventist Health System to have a hospital built in Bolingbrook, Illinois.[11] It would be built west of the Interstate 55/Illinois Route 53 Interchange.[12]

In late November 2006, a three-story, 74,298 square foot (6,902.5 m2) 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.[13] On January 14, 2008, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital opened to patients.[14][15] The 300,000 square foot (28,000 m2) hospital, became the newest in Illinois in twenty-five years after three years of construction.[6][15]

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 exemption status.[16][17] In early December, the chapel at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was named after Ron Hawkins, who served two terms on the hospitals foundation board.[18][19]

On June 17, 2014, Adventist Midwest Health from Hinsdale, Illinois, a subsidiary of Adventist Health System; and Alexian Brothers Health System from Arlington Heights, Illinois 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.[20][21][22] On February 1, 2015, the joint venture AMITA Health was created by Adventist Midwest Health and Alexian Health System.[23][24]

On October 21, 2021, AMITA Health announced that it would split up.[25][26] On April 1, 2022, it split up and AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook rebranded to AdventHealth Bolingbrook.[27][28][29] On September 13, UChicago Medicine announced that it planned to purchase a controlling interest in the AdventHealth hospitals in Illinois.[30][31][32] The joint venture became finalized on January 1, 2023.[33][34][35]

On November 7, 2025, UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook had a groundbreaking for a 15,000 square foot (1,400 m2) expansion, to add two catheterization laboratories for $21.6 million. Bulley & Andrews was hired to do the construction.[36][37]

Services

By late January 2015, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was still struggling to fill its beds.[38] 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.[39]

Partnership

On April 19, 2025, the hospital began a partnership with NorthStar Anesthesia to help UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook move to a anesthesia care team model.[40][41]

Awards and recognitions

The hospital received a grade A from The Leapfrog Group from fall 2013 to spring 2015,[42] and again from May 2019 to May 2020.[43][44][45] It received a grade B in November 2021 and May 2022,[46][47] and it received a grade A again from November 2022 to November 2025.[48][49][50] In May 2026 it was given a grade B.[51][52]
