## History
### 1977-2008

In 1977, Hinsdale Hospital applied for a certificate of need with the Illinois government to have a hospital built in Bolingbrook, Illinois. In February 1988, the certificate of need was approved for the hospital. In late July 1989, Hinsdale Hospital changed its mind about having a hospital built there, due to so many hospitals closing in the state.
In early November 2001, Adventist Health System announced that it wanted a hospital built with 130 beds built onto its Bolingbrook Medical Center. In late April 2004, Adventist Health System applied with the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board to have a $152 million, 138-bed hospital built in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Their request to have the hospital built was denied. In early November 2004, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board approved the certificate of need from Adventist Health System to have a hospital built onto Bolingbrook Medical Center. It would be built west of the Interstate 55/Illinois Route 53 Interchange.
In late November 2006, a three-story, 74,298-square-foot medical office building was approved by trustees to be built north of the hospital and to be connected to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital by a heated skyway. On January 14, 2008, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital officially opened to patients. The 300,000-square-foot hospital, became the newest in Illinois in twenty-five years after three years of construction.

### 2013-present

In late January 2013, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital requested that it be reimbursed $7.1 million, after paying property taxes to Will County from 2008 to 2011, while waiting for its tax-exempt status. In early December 2013, the chapel at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was named after Ron Hawkins, who served two terms on the hospitals foundation board.
In late June 2014, Adventist Midwest Health a subsidiary of Adventist Health System, and Alexian Brothers Health System a subsidiary of Ascension Health, signed a letter to create a joint venture company. The nine hospital company would be the third-largest in Illinois. On February 1, 2015, the joint venture AMITA Health was officially created by Adventist Midwest Health and Alexian Health System. On October 21, 2021, AMITA Health announced that it would split up. On April 1, 2022, AMITA Health officially split up and AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook rebranded to AdventHealth Bolingbrook.
On September 13, 2022, UChicago Medicine announced that it planned to purchase a controlling interest in the AdventHealth hospitals in Illinois. The joint venture became official on January 1, 2023.

## Services

By late January 2015, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital was still struggling to fill its beds. To take care of this problem the hospital applied with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for permission to change twenty-four of its medical-surgical beds to psychiatric beds in late April.
