Sauer developed a vaccine for Whooping Cough at Evanston Hospital in the 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of pertussis vaccine development )〕 The hospital affiliated with Northwestern University and the Feinberg School of Medicine in the 1930s. Evanston Hospital expanded to 475 beds during the 1940s and established intensive care, cardiac care, kidney dialysis center and neonatology units. ENH opened Glenbrook Hospital in 1977 to better serve the expanding population area north of Chicago. Highland Park Hospital was acquired in 2000.

In 1981, the Kellogg Cancer Care Center was established, the first cancer center built by a community hospital in the nation.
