2009 Annual Fund Appeal

A 110-year tradtion of community-supported advanced care



In 1899, a group of concerned Lake Forest residents saw the importance of building an outstanding hospital in their small community.

Much has changed in the 110 years since they helped open our doors. But one thing remains constant—the generosity of our community and its passion for outstanding local care. It's a tradition built on philanthropy, one that has helped us attract top-ranked physicians and nurses and establish state-of-the-art cardiology, orthopedics, diagnostic imaging and women's services. We're offering advanced care comparable to the best hospitals in Chicago, but making it available right here in our region.

As a non-profit organization, we need your help to maintain this high standard of care and keep up with the changes in technology, training and more. Please join the proud tradition of community investment to ensure a continuity of advanced, patient-focused care for you, your family, friends and neighbors.
