Rockford Health System is celebrating its 125th Anniversary. We’re paying tribute to the thousands of health care professionals who have served Rock River Valley residents since Rockford Memorial Hospital became the region’s first hospital in 1883.

As part of a year-long celebration, we’re collecting letters from individuals in the community who want to share their experiences in our care. Did we care for you or a family member in difficult times? Was there a special health care professional at Rockford Health System who made a difference in your recovery? The letters will serve to recognize Rockford Health System’s rich history in the community for this generation and future generations to come. If you have a story to tell, please write us by February 15, 2008.
