With 10 hospitals and two fully integrated children's hospitals, Advocate has the largest physician and hospital network in the state and is one of Chicagoland's 10 largest employers. With more than 168,000 inpatient admissions and 1,655,000 outpatient visits, Advocate treats more hearts and provides care for more cancer and pediatric patients than any other health system in Illinois.
That is important because research shows there is a positive relationship between the number of procedures performed and quality outcomes.

Four Advocate hospitals have earned Magnet® recognition for excellence in nursing.
