OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center is a private teaching hospital located in Rockford, Illinois, USA. It is part of the OSF HealthCare system.

History

OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center was established on August 18, 1899, when six Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis moved to Rockford to open a hospital. The sisters had relocated to America from Prussia in 1875. With the assistance of real estate agent William Crotty, they purchased a house on East State St. and Summit St., which became the first hospital in the area.
