Carle Foundation Hospital is a 433-bed [1] regional care hospital in Urbana, Illinois, United States, that has achieved Magnet designation. It is owned by the not-for-profit (NFPO) Carle Foundation, which also consists of Carle Physician Group and Health Alliance Medical Plans. It is the region's only level-1 trauma center. [2]

The Carle Health system also includes Carle BroMenn Medical Center, Carle Eureka Hospital, Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center, and Carle Richland Memorial Hospital. [3]

The hospital is a vertically integrated system [3] led by James Leonard, President and CEO since 2000. He has served Carle since the early 1980s. [4] It is the primary teaching hospital for the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine, the medical school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

History

The history of these entities began in 1918 when Margaret Burt Carle Morris left $40,000 to the City of Urbana, Illinois for the purpose of starting a hospital. Her donation led to the creation of The Urbana Memorial Hospital Association. [5]

In 1931, J.C. Thomas Rogers and Hugh L. Davison, two physicians from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, moved to Urbana and opened what was then called Carle Memorial Hospital and the Rogers-Davison Clinic. Housed in the abandoned Eastern Illinois Medical Sanitarium, the Clinic and 15-bed Hospital introduced the concept of multi-specialty group practice to the area.

Though the Clinic and Hospital were separated into two distinct organizations in 1946, they were reunited on April 1, 2010. [5]

The 433-bed [1] regional care hospital has achieved Magnet designation, the United States' highest honor for nursing care. [6] It offers a more advanced level of clinical expertise and technology than any other area hospital, housing the area's only level I trauma center as well as level III perinatal services. The hospital admitted more than 20,500 patients and treated more than 63,300 patients in the emergency room during 2009.[ citation needed][ needs update]

In 2020, the Carle Health system bought BroMenn Medical Center in Normal, Illinois and Eureka Hospital in Eureka, Illinois from Advocate Aurora Health. [7] In 2023, the Carle Health system finalized a deal to purchase Methodist and Proctor Hospitals in Peoria, Illinois and Pekin Hospital in Pekin, Illinois from UnityPoint Health. [8]
