Integrated healthcare system serving five Illinois counties with 312-bed tertiary hospital
Riverside Healthcare operates a multi-entity system anchored by a 312-bed Level II Trauma center in Kankakee, Illinois, supported by senior living facilities and clinical programs across five counties. The tech stack is dominated by Epic Systems and AWS EMR—standard for hospitals—but the hiring breakdown reveals operational strain: 288 of 312 active roles are healthcare-focused, with only 3 engineering positions, suggesting IT and digital transformation are either outsourced, backlogged, or deprioritized relative to direct clinical staffing needs.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Financial Officer, Clinic Operations Director, Assistant Director of Nursing, Culinary Team Lead
