The hospital has a special collaborative relationship with sister hospital amita health adventist medical center la grange in la grange, illinois. About two miles separate the hospitals, and because of their proximity to each other, they have worked to integrate their services and to work collaboratively instead of competing against each other. The hospitals share the same senior management team, department leaders, and medical staff, and they partnered to develop the amita health cancer institute and outpatient center, which opened in 2016 in hinsdale. The integration process has reduced operating costs for the two hospitals, and they have reinvested the savings to expand and enhance services.
