Thorek Memorial Hospital Andersonville, formerly Methodist Hospital of Chicago, is a 145-bed hospital located in Uptown, Chicago's Andersonville and Ravenswood neighborhoods.[1] It is part of the Thorek Memorial Hospital health system.[2]
History
Thorek Memorial Hospital Andersonville traces its roots to the Bethany Retirement Community, which was founded in 1889 and by 1930 was recognized as a national leader in providing high-quality care for seniors.[2]
In 1942, with Bethany's infirmary having reached capacity, the Methodist Hospital of Chicago was constructed next door to serve residents and neighbors of all ages.[2]
On October 1, 2019, Thorek Memorial Hospital acquired both Bethany Retirement Community and the Methodist Hospital.[3][4] Following the acquisition, the facilities were rebranded as Thorek Retirement Home and Thorek Memorial Hospital Andersonville.[5]
In 2023, Thorek announced plans to convert a portion of the retirement home into affordable housing for seniors.[6]
