CoxHealth can trace its roots to this Jefferson Avenue address, and the frame house that stood here in 1906, originally Burge Hospital. Today, Cox North is a thriving hospital with a new technology, a growing medical staff, a 24/7 Emergency Department, occupational therapy, a full-service occupational medicine clinic and much more. Our physician residency program, Cox Family Medicine Residency, is based here, as is Cox College, our private college offering degrees and certificates in nursing and other health care-related fields.

CoxHealth is Missouri’s first hospital system accredited by DNV-GL Healthcare for quality and patient safety. All six hospitals, as well as our outpatient centers and provider-based clinics hold this national distinction from DNV’s accreditation program, the National Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. 

CoxHealth is the only Springfield hospital named for seven years to U.S. News & World Report's Best Regional Hospitals list. CoxHealth is recognized by CareChex®, the medical quality rating division of Comparion®, as among the Top 10 percent U.S. hospitals for patient safety in overall hospital, medical and surgical care.
