Hospital History (Illinois and Wisconsin)

Advocate Sherman Hospital opened its doors on July 7, 1888, in a two-story house donated by local drug store owner and prominent businessman, Henry Sherman. There were four beds and one operating room. As the health care needs and landscape of the community changed, Sherman decided to open a replacement facility on December 15, 2009 with 255 beds, located on Randall Rd and I-90 in Elgin.
