Carle Foundation Hospital is a 413-bed regional care hospital in Urbana, Illinois, United States, that has achieved Magnet designation. It is owned by the not-for-profit Carle Foundation, which also consists of Carle Physician Group and Health Alliance Medical Plans. It is the area's only level 1 trauma center.[1]

History

The history of these entities began in 1918 when Margaret Burt Carle Morris left $40,000 to the City of Urbana, Ill. for the purpose of starting a hospital. Her donation led to the creation of The Urbana Memorial Hospital Association. Her name – Carle – has been maintained, an enduring testimony to the roots of the organization.[2]

In 1931, J.C. Thomas Rogers and Hugh L. Davison, two physicians from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, moved to Urbana and opened what was then called Carle Memorial Hospital and the Rogers-Davison Clinic. Housed in the abandoned Eastern Illinois Medical Sanitarium, the Clinic and 15-bed Hospital introduced the concept of multi-specialty group practice to the area.

Though the Clinic and Hospital were separated into two distinct organizations in 1946, they were reunited on April 1, 2010.

The 413-bed regional care hospital has achieved Magnet designation, the USA's highest honor for nursing care.[3] It offers a more advanced level of clinical expertise and technology than any other area hospital, housing the area's only level I trauma center as well as level III perinatal services. The hospital admitted more than 20,500 patients and treated more than 63,300 patients in the emergency room during 2009.
