Riverside Healthcare

Riverside Healthcare is a fully integrated regional healthcare system serving Kankakee, Iroquois, Will and Grundy counties in Illinois. It provides inpatient, outpatient, emergency, primary and specialty care, together with senior living services, spanning a continuum of care from acute treatment through independent and assisted living.

The system's flagship is Riverside Medical Center, a 300-bed hospital with Level II Trauma designation and the only Magnet Recognized hospital in its area. Its clinical programmes cover heart care, cancer care, neurosurgery and orthopedics, alongside emergency services, primary care and specialized treatment. A network of community, primary care and specialty health centres extends local access across the region, while senior living and older adult services include independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation and memory care.

Other parts of the organisation include the Riverside Healthcare Foundation, which raises funds for construction, equipment, patient programmes and staff scholarships, and the Riverside Health Fitness Center, operated by Oakside Corporation as part of the Riverside system. The Foundation's scholarship support reflects a stated commitment to professional development for staff, alongside an emphasis on nursing excellence and clinical quality signalled by the system's Magnet recognition.
