Oak Forest Hospital

Celebrating its 90th anniversary, Oak Forest Hospital, with more than 600 beds, provides the rehabilitation, chronic disease and long-term link in the Bureau?s continuum of care. Located on a spacious, 340-acre campus in the southwest corner of Cook County the hospital meets the needs of patients who require medical care and skills-training in a long-term setting.

Oak Forest Hospital?s inpatient services include: long-term intermediate/supportive care, skilled nursing care, subacute care, comprehensive rehabilitation, and acute care units. Specialty programs include ventilator, palliative and AIDS units, as well as brain injury rehabilitation, pain management, and vocational services. Oak Forest was one of the first hospitals in the state to establish a program for ventilator-dependent individuals, persons who cannot breathe on their own. The facility now cares for an average of 30-35 patients with ventilator needs who require intensive monitoring and oversight.
