History
Saint Francis Hospital of Evanston was founded in 1900 by the pastor of the nearby St. Nicholas Church (Roman Catholic). Resurrection Health Care took over Saint Francis Hospital in 1977. When Resurrection Health Care merged with Provena Health to form Presence Health in 2011, the hospital was renamed Presence Saint Francis Hospital.[3] The hospital was again renamed when Presence Health merged into AMITA Health in 2017.[4] In October 2021, Saint Francis Hospital became part of the Ascension healthcare system.[5] AMITA Health was dissolved into two healthcare systems in 2022.[6]
