The Carle system also includes the Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center and the Carle Richland Memorial Hospital.[3]

Carle is a vertically integrated system[3] led by James Leonard, President and CEO since 2000. He has served Carle since the early 1980s.[4]

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.[5]

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 433-bed[1] regional care hospital has achieved Magnet designation, the USA's highest honor for nursing care.[6] 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.
