Among the top 100 Instagram hashtags of 2016 were #healthy and #fitness. Just a year ago, springtime in McHenry and Kane counties was filled with the promise of our much-anticipated new hospital in Huntley. Since we opened its doors in August 2016, the community has embraced Centegra Hospital–Huntley and the doctors and nurses who care for our patients. One of the most rewarding parts of the past year has been the feedback we have received about patient experiences at Centegra Hospital–Huntley. Our team takes great pride in providing each patient personalized care. "All the staff was so pleasant and helpful and the facility is beautiful," said one patient. Another said, "All care and interaction was extremely respectful and definitely uplifting. The quiet, restful surroundings and cleanliness (were) a definite plus." These encouraging responses are most exciting for our team members, and that is what makes Centegra Health System different from others in Illinois. We are able to achieve the highest honors for clinical quality and also stay in touch with the most personal needs of our patients and their families. When it comes to choosing a hospital, the awards matter, too. Centegra Hospital–McHenry was among just 82 hospitals in the nation to receive five stars from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which put the hospital in the top 2 percent in the nation. Centegra Hospital–Woodstock achieved four stars, ranking in the top 20 percent of all hospitals nation wide. Centegra Health System brings the leading care your family needs right to your backyard. We always welcome your feedback about the care and services we provide. 3 centegra.org 877-CENTEGRA
