History

In 1956, Dr. Lee Gladstone built a clinic on Green Street in the city of McHenry. The first and second floor included an emergency room, operating room, reception areas and offices for outpatient physician care. The ground floor provided 22 beds for new born, pediatric and adult patients. A McHenry Hospital addition was soon built near the clinic on Waukegan Avenue. With the rapid growth of population, a new McHenry Hospital was built in 1984 on Illinois Route 31 and Bull Valley Road and was named Northern Illinois Medical Center.[1] In the early 1990s, health planners in McHenry County recognized the need to coordinate medical services for the growing health needs of the area. The new health system centered on patient care and integrated health care facilities in the region. Thus was born former Centegra Health System, a healthcare system focusing on patient service and integrated compassionate care with modern technology.
