Real Estate in Barrington & The Northwest Suburbs: Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital-Barrington Illinois

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital-Barrington Illinois

Located in the northern  part of Barrington Illinois-Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital has a level II trauma center with life flight helicopter facility. I live in the subdivision of Savannah in Lake Barrington which is directly opposite the hospital. On average I would estimate we only have the life flight arrive once or twice a week. Ambulances arrive throughout the day and night but they are very respectful of the residential areas here and if there are no cars in the way they only use their lights. So often they come and go and I never know.



What facilities does Advocate Good Shephered Hospital Offer?

• Level II Trauma Center
• Cancer Care Center
• Heart & Vascular Center
• Pediatrics
• Outpatient Services
• Day Surgery

are just some of the services offered. As a general hospital and the only one in Barrington Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital offers a full range of services and has 183 beds. With over 700 primary care and specialty physicians here, the cancer center is nationally recognized, the cardiac care center is renowned and I will personally vouch for a phenomenal orthopedic center.



I have to say it is very convenient living across from Advocate Good Shephered. When I reflect over the 6 years my family has lived in Savannah of Lake Barrington, every member of a our family has used it. My youngest son broke a finger so used the ER. My eldest son has used it for his Crohns infusions on Saturdays. My husband had spinal fusion in October 2008 and I had a herniated disc repaired in 2004, followed by spinal fusion in 2006. I think we have put it through it's paces! Dr Greg Brebach was my Orthopedic Surgeon and I have recommended him to a number of friends.



The main hospital entrance and the ER entrance are at the front of the building. The Cardiac Care Center is around the back of the building. On the left side you'll find the Outpatient Pavilion. There is also Medical Building one which has many primary care practices as well as entrance to the sleep disorder center and cancer center. If you need an X-Ray go through the Outpatient Pavilion. They'll also help with blood draws, ECG's and other things you may have been referred here for.



Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital is set amongst beautiful grounds. The campus is very large and you'll see towering oak trees, the pond in front of the building and many shrubs and flowers.



I commend the caretakers for doing a great job at keeping it look very pretty. Often hospitals are just buildings, parking lots, roads and nothing much else. Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital breaks the mold.



I often walk around the Good Shepherd Trail which is a 0.6 miles path that goes all the way around this pond.
