The ongoing merger of the Elmhurst and Naperville hospitals creates a question of name-branding.
The announced merger between Edward Health Services and Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare will result in Edward changing its name to Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare before July 1 to oversee the new three-hospital system, Crain's Chicago Business reports. However, according to the paper, the hospitals (Edward Hospital in Naperville and Elmhurst Memorial in Elmhurst, as well as behavioral health facility Linden Oaks in Naperville) have suggested that they will likely operate under an entirely new name once the merger is finished. Steve Gaither, president of marketing agency JB Chicago, which has worked with health-care clients, suggested to Crain's that if Edwards merges again and another hospital name gets added, "now all of a sudden it becomes a law…

If you go to the emergency room at Edward Hospital, how long will it take before you see a health-care professional? The federal government says 12 minutes on average. That's far better than both the state and national average, according to a new database causing some hospital officials nationwide to cringe. It's less than half the national average—30—and barely over a third of the Illinois average—33. Edward also beat the Illinois average in time spent before being admitted as an inpatient (238 minutes, state average 265), average time ER patients with broken bones had to wait before receiving pain medication (35 minutes, state average 57) and average time spent in the ER before being sent home (92 minutes, state average 142.)

Baby Emily Kaczanko is home after 142 days in the Edward Hospital NICU. On Thursday, she reunited with some of her lifesavers.
The day she was born, Emily Kate Kaczanko weighed in at less than a pound — so tiny that her father’s wedding ring could slide over her arm, according to Dr. Rajeev Dixit, one of the doctors who cared for Emily at Edward Hospital in Naperville. On Thursday, the six-month-old reunited with some of the doctors and nurses who helped save her life. “She’s doing great,” said dad Rick Kaczanko of Plainfield. Today, baby Emily tips the scale at 8 pounds, 5 ounces — still small for her age, but growing, her dad said. Emily’s early delivery was a shock to the family, which includes mom Kelly and son Jonathan, 4. Kelly Kaczanko was 27 weeks pregnant when she went in for what she thought would be a routine doctor’s visit. Though she showed no sign of…

I would very much like to know when and how Elmhurst Memorial Hospital is going to work to improve its ER services. Unless you're at death's door, you have to wait and wait and wait.

He should have been seen in ER shortly after we … more ›
