Community:
The community that Loretto Hospital serves has also grown. Loretto's healthcare professionals see patients from across the Chicagoland area. The largest percentage of the hospital's patients come from west side neighborhoods such as Austin and Garfield Park, but our care extends from Oak Park, Berwyn, Forest Park, and several other western suburbs.

Throughout the year, Loretto participates actively in community events and sponsors an assortment of free health screenings and workshops in order to educate and spread health awareness. The hospital's Community Advisory Board links community leaders with hospital officials to help develop effective community programs. The hospital is one of the largest employers in the community.
