Hospital Description:
Aurora is one of the largest growing towns in the country, yet there is still open space and farmland in neighboring towns. Although our city offers all the amenities you could want, including numerous golf courses, shopping centers, and an outlet mall, you have easy access to downtown Chicago – it’s only an hour drive, or a quick hop on the train. We are just south of the beautiful towns of Geneva and St. Charles along the Fox River, with fine dining, biking and hiking trails. Aurora is also home to community colleges and Aurora University. Our extensive network of schools makes this an ideal town to raise your family. Our hospital is located on spacious grounds and borders Blackberry Creek and the Blackberry Petting Farm. Clients enjoy sitting on our outside benches during warm weather, and in our quiet visitation room during inclemental weather. Our staff gets together monthly and we have a strong team spirit and work ethic.
