From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central DuPage Hospital, or CDH, is an independent hospital system located throughout DuPage County, Illinois in the United States. Its primary facility is a 361-bed hospital located in Winfield, Illinois. There are an additional twenty primary care facilities located throughout the county, and four retirement communities. Central DuPage Hospital was the first hospital in the county to perform open heart surgery, and is currently the second busiest surgical center in the state with more than 21,000 surgeries every year.[1]
[edit] History
The Central DuPage Hospital Association was established in 1958 when citizens from Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Wheaton, Warrenville, Winfield and West Chicago banded together to restore a sanitarium located on the hospital's current primary site. After an extensive million-dollar renovation project, Central DuPage Hospital opened on September 16, 1964 with 113 beds and 66 physicians. The hospital saw much change throughout the 1970s, with the opening of a 120-bed pavilion on December 13, 1970, small additions in 1971 and 1972, and a five-story 112-bed patient tower in 1976.[2]
