One of the biggest issues in modern life today is that of health care. The Congregation of Alexian Brothers is a lay Catholic order that expresses their faith through works in the care of those who are sick or aging. Their mission statement – “Caring for the sick, the poor and the dying” – has led them to the creation of the Alexian Brothers Health System, found at alexian.org. This address further resolves to alexianbrothershealth.org.
The site alexian.org is based in Chicago and provides details on the five different hospitals in their network, as well as seven immediate care centers in the Chicago area, serving well over two million people. Each location includes details on specialty and wellness services offered and the doctors on staff, plus wellness and occupational health services. The homepage includes a link to emergency room and immediate care wait times. Alexian has a substantial collection of different specialty departments, ranging from stroke care to mental health treatment of all varieties, all types of surgery, and complete veteran’s services. Alexian.org has many pages devoted to wellness and a comprehensive health encyclopedia that provides much information on various diseases and conditions. They have a full schedule of classes that may be searched by date, location, or topic, plus a news section with press releases and other content. Their shop is fully-featured, with gift items, health and wellness equipment, books and other related products. There are also volunteer opportunities listed, and visitors have the chance to make a donation to help support the work of Alexian.
