Advocate Sherman Hospital Community Benefit Report
Advocate Sherman Hospital offers an array of health and wellness programs that are accessible to the community at a number of locations. In addition, many of our employees give time and talent as dedicated volunteers in our community. And, where possible, we support local causes and offer services free of charge or at a discount simply because it is the right thing to do.
We base our services and offerings on the healthcare needs of the communities we serve. In 2012, we hosted 485 wellness classes/events and served 18,250 people, from new moms to seniors. Links to our most recent community needs assessments for Kane County and McHenry County are below.
