CEO Gene Woods

“We're sailing straight ahead toward a new kind of health care — one where the highest level of care reaches more people, wherever they are, whenever they need it.”

For You, For Us,
For All

With the unified purpose to redefine care for all, 2025 was a year of moving from vision to reality. And we're already seeing the benefits for our patients, communities and teammates:

A New Era of Innovation

“Our June opening of The Pearl — Charlotte's first innovation district — ignites collaboration and serves as a blueprint for health care transformation.

Preeminent National Academic Model

From welcoming the first class of four-year medical students to Wake Forest University School of Medicine's Charlotte campus to securing meaningful research funding, we expanded our reach, deepened our impact and grew our national model for academic medicine.

Bringing Care Close To Home

Hundreds of rural hospitals have shuttered in the last decade. We're committed to making high-quality care and national expertise accessible for all, regardless of zip code.

Where Care Meets Community

Advocate Health has made meaningful strides in expanding access to care, addressing social drivers of health and creating opportunities for patients, communities and teammates.

Care that Connects

We continue to make health care more accessible by growing virtual primary care across our footprint. We're connecting more patients with trusted providers for routine checkups, ongoing health management and more to build a future where quality doesn't depend on geography.

The Power of AI

Guided by our commitment to be a leader in responsible artificial intelligence innovation, we advanced bold initiatives designed to reshape care delivery and enhance the patient experience.
