Alton Memorial Hospital

What Alton Memorial Hospital does

Alton Memorial Hospital is a full-service, non-profit acute-care hospital located at One Memorial Drive, Alton, Illinois, founded in 1937 and operating as a member of the BJC HealthCare system. The hospital delivers inpatient and outpatient services across emergency care (24/7), surgery, medical imaging, interventional and diagnostic heart services, oncology (through the Siteman Cancer Center Network), orthopedics, women's health and childbirth, bariatrics, rehabilitation, ambulance services, and approximately 20 additional medical specialties including neurology, nephrology, and transplant services. Patient access is multi-modal: emergency department, walk-in Convenient Care, the Washington University Children's After Hours pediatric clinic, telehealth via Virtual Care, outpatient imaging and laboratory, and the Epic MyChart patient portal for records, scheduling, and provider messaging.

The hospital generates revenue through standard acute-care reimbursement mechanics — insurance billing, government payers, and self-pay arrangements routed through its Billing & Financial Assistance department — though specific pricing and contract structures are not publicly disclosed. Patient volume is drawn from a regional Alton, Illinois catchment with no named enterprise customers; distribution channels operate through emergency intake, primary care and specialist referrals, walk-in/same-day clinics, and virtual consults. The facility functions as a teaching site for Family Medicine residents via Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and as a student rotation location for nursing, pharmacy, and radiology programs with three regional institutions, embedding workforce development into the operating model. External recognition includes consistent top honors from Professional Research Consultants Inc. and U.S. News & World Report High Performing designations for Diabetes (2025) and Maternity Care (2026).
