Program update: The FHN Get Fit screenings scheduled for this week will not take place, as we have decided not to move forward with the Get Fit program this year. We understand this may be disappointing, and this decision was not made lightly.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who signed up and showed interest in their health journey. We plan to offer similar opportunities in the future and will share updates as soon as they become available!

Thank you for your understanding and support.

We’re pleased to share that FHN is now part of Mercyhealth! 💙

This new partnership brings together two organizations that share a strong commitment to caring for rural communities and putting patients first. We’re excited to continue serving the same communities you know and trust—now with even greater access to advanced clinical expertise, specialty care and expanded resources.

By joining Mercyhealth, FHN gains additional support that will allow for reinvestment in services, facilities, technology and patient care across our service area. Most importantly, our focus remains the same: providing compassionate, high-quality care close to home.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to continue caring for patients and families throughout northwest Illinois and look forward to this next chapter together. 🏥🩺 Mercyhealth Rockford Region
