Humboldt Park Health, formerly known as Norwegian American Hospital, is a nonprofit safety net hospital in Humboldt Park, Chicago that was founded in 1894.[1][2]
It has about 900 employees, of which about 350 are medical personnel.
It receives about $38 million a year from the Illinois Hospital Assessment Program which funds the Emergency Department, Wound Clinic, Cardiology, and the Comprehensive Diabetes Center.[3] It runs a pediatric mobile medical unit which is known as the Norwegian American Hospital Pediatric Care-A-Van, which is partly funded by the Children's Care Foundation.[4] Cancer services are provided by City of Hope Cancer Center.[5]
In July 2018, it reported that it had a serious problem with a shortage of morphine and other painkillers in the emergency room, which was then run by US Acute Care Solutions.[6]
On January 28, 2021, the change to Humboldt Park Health from Norwegian American Hospital was made by the administration.[7]
