Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) is a 390-bed hospital in Winfield, Illinois, United States, one of twelve [1] hospitals operated by Northwestern Medicine. CDH was the first hospital in DuPage County to perform open heart surgery and the first to perform closed-chest, robot-assisted cardiac bypass surgery in the State of Illinois. [3] The hospital was one of the first in Illinois to use endoscopic radial artery harvesting led by Dr. Marc Gerdisch. [4] As a Level III Perinatal center it has maternal fetal medicine specialists and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit staffed by Lurie Children's Hospital neonatologists. [5] The hospital houses Illinois' first intraoperative MRI unit used for brain surgery. [6] Designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center CDH cares for stroke patients in the region. [7] In support of stroke patients was the initiation of the first Mobile Stroke Unit in Illinois under the leadership of Dr. Harish Shownkeen - neuroradiologist. [8] As of 2025 [update] , the hospital was ranked 7th on the "Best Hospitals in Illinois" list by U.S. News & World Report , ranked High Performing ng in 5 adult specialities and 14 procedures/conditions.

The Central DuPage Hospital Association was established in 1958 when citizens from Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Wheaton, Warrenville, Winfield and West Chicago banded together to restore a sanitarium located on the hospital's current primary site. After an extensive million-dollar renovation project, Central DuPage Hospital opened on September 16, 1964 with 113 beds and 66 physicians. The hospital saw much change throughout the 1970s, with the opening of a 120-bed pavilion on December 13, 1970, small additions in 1971 and 1972, and a five-story 112-bed patient tower in 1976. [10] The facility and campus continued to expand in the decades that followed, with much of the original structure eventually reused or demolished, culminating in the construction of a new $232 million five-story bed tower with 202 private rooms in 2011. [11]
In 2011, Central DuPage Health (the successor parent to the Central DuPage Hospital Association) merged with Delnor Health System, the parent of Delnor Hospital of Geneva, Illinois, to form Cadence Health System. [12] Cadence, in turn, was then acquired by Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, parent of Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital, in 2015. [13]
