Advocate Health

Advocate Health operates as a major integrated healthcare system, providing diverse medical services across multiple states. It encompasses numerous hospitals, clinics, and specialized centers, innovating service delivery models. The system focuses on accessible, high-quality patient care to meet varied community health needs.

The organization's roots trace to the January 1995 merger of Evangelical Health Systems Corporation and Lutheran General Health System, forming Advocate Health Care. Both were established as faith-based institutions; EHS originated from the 1906 German Evangelical Deaconess Hospital, and LGHS from the 1897 Norwegian Lutheran Deaconess Home and Hospital, establishing a strong regional presence.

Advocate Health serves a vast patient base across Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Its mission centers on advancing health equity and improving healthcare accessibility and affordability. The organization envisions enhancing community well-being through its expansive network and commitment to inclusive care.
