ABOUT US
Provident Hospital of Cook County, (PHCC), is a public, community hospital. Its mission continues to be provision of comprehensive health care to all Cook County residents.

Provident Hospital was established on January 22, 1891 by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, as the nation’s first African-American owned hospital. Dr. Williams would later be noted for doing the nation’s first open heart surgery. Its doors closed in the 1980’s.
