Advocate Health is a nonprofit integrated health system and the third-largest of its kind in the United States. Formed in 2022, it operates 69 hospitals and more than 1,000 sites of care across six states in the Midwest and Southeast, with its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The organisation serves nearly 6 million patients annually and delivers over $6 billion in community benefit each year.
The system's scale is considerable: it employs approximately 162,000 teammates, including over 35,000 physicians and 42,000 nurses. Its core activities span clinical care, medical education, and community health initiatives. The organisation has signalled an emphasis on digital innovation alongside its research and clinical operations, integrating these elements into its broader mission to address healthcare challenges of access, affordability, and equity.
For technology professionals, Advocate Health's footprint - spanning hundreds of care sites and millions of patient encounters - generates significant demands on data infrastructure, digital health platforms, and clinical systems. The organisation's stated commitment to incorporating cutting-edge research and digital innovation into its delivery model places technology at the centre of its operational strategy.
