Company Overview
At UW Health, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care through groundbreaking medical innovation and unwavering compassion. Our network proudly serves patients and families throughout Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and beyond.
In 2015, SwedishAmerican—a trusted community health system in Rockford, Illinois, with over a century of service—joined the UW Health family. By 2021, the UW Health brand was officially adopted across SwedishAmerican’s two hospitals and 30+ primary and specialty care clinics throughout Northern Illinois.
This integration gives patients the best of both worlds: the comfort and convenience of local care providers combined with seamless access to UW Health’s leading specialists, particularly in complex areas such as cancer and cardiology. Families also benefit from enhanced maternal and pediatric care, thanks to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Rockford and the support of neonatology experts from American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison when advanced care is needed.
Through this partnership, we continue to elevate the standard of care for the Northern Illinois community—delivering trusted, compassionate care close to home with the strength of a premier academic health system.
