After numerous additions between 1895 and 1999, the hospital had grown to 353 beds. Advocate Sherman's first open-heart surgery was performed in 1972. It was also one of the first open heart surgeries performed in a community hospital in the USA. [7] [8]

On March 30, 2020, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker announced that the partially demolished old Sherman Hospital would be converted into an overflow center for COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Private contractors and the US Army Corps of Engineers began work converting the abandoned building into a 230-280 bed facility equipped to handle a surge in hospitalizations caused by the virus. As of December 2020, the site had yet to be used, but the building was in standby mode, ready to accept patients as needed. [12] [13] [14]
