Advocate Aurora Health operates as the third-largest nonprofit integrated health system in the United States, serving nearly 6 million unique patients across six states through 69 hospitals and more than 1,000 sites of care. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the organisation was formed in 2018 through a merger of Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care, and subsequently became part of Advocate Health following a 2022 merger with Atrium Health. Its workforce comprises nearly 162,000 teammates, including more than 35,000 physicians and 42,000 nurses.
The organisation manages complex healthcare delivery and operational systems across multiple states, with particular emphasis on clinical care networks and health equity initiatives. It provides research partnerships through collaborations with institutions like Wake Forest University School of Medicine, integrating clinical research with patient care delivery. Annual community benefit commitments exceed $6.05 billion, reflecting its nonprofit mission and community investment approach.
Technical domains within the system span healthcare delivery operations, clinical care coordination, health equity programme development, and research infrastructure. The scale and geographic distribution of Advocate Aurora Health's operations demand sophisticated technology solutions for patient management, clinical workflows, and data integration across its distributed network of hospitals and care sites.
