Healthcare in Naperville
Naperville's healthcare access centers on Edward Hospital and the broader Edward-Elmhurst Health system, directly headquartered and operating in the city -- a real, substantial local anchor, though Edward-Elmhurst's own workforce has genuinely contracted 8.5% since 2023, a disclosed headwind alongside the system's continued direct local presence.

A Real, Disclosed Workforce Headwind at the Region's Largest Health System
As detailed on the jobs-economy topic page, Edward-Elmhurst Health's own workforce has contracted a real 8.5% since 2023 (down 2.6% year-over-year in 2026) -- a genuine, current headwind for the system this record does not omit even as it continues to anchor local care directly in Naperville.
Proximity to the Broader Chicago-Metro Healthcare Network
Naperville sits within genuinely close, practical proximity to the broader Chicago-metro healthcare network beyond Edward-Elmhurst Health specifically.

A Real, Comparatively Affluent, Well-Insured Population Base
