Every dollar you donate here stays here, so we can invest in world-class facilities and services that meet and exceed the needs of our patients in the Northern Illinois/Rockford region.

The amount of your donation that stays local.
I give because I believe in the missions of SwedishAmerican Health Foundation and our health system . . . every little bit helps. My donations aren’t going to build giant buildings, but they have the potential to make someone’s stay at our hospital better.”

We’re proud to spotlight Adam Fleming this month, who has served as one of our dedicated Foundation board members since November 2023.
A lifelong Rockford resident and graduate of Jefferson High School, Adam returned to the region after earning his law degree and now practices in the Estates and Trusts group at WilliamsMcCarthy LLP. His commitment to the local community—and its future—is at the heart of his work, both professionally and philanthropically.
Adam’s connection to SwedishAmerican is deeply personal: “Each of my sons was born at SwedishAmerican Hospital, and I appreciate the deep and enduring roots this health system has in the Rockford community,” he shares.
When asked why health care philanthropy matters to him, Adam emphasizes the power of local impact: “Even though SwedishAmerican has now married into a larger family, the SwedishAmerican Health Foundation allows us to provide support to UW Health in a manner targeted specifically to the Rockford/Northern Illinois area. It’s a way to ensure that high-quality medical care continues to be available to each and every member of our community.”
Outside of work, you might find Adam enjoying quiet moments with a cup of tea and a good book—or engaging in a friendly game of chess or cribbage.
We are grateful for Adam’s thoughtful leadership and passion for our mission as a local member of our Board of Directors. ... See MoreSee Less
