History
In 1864, Dr. James and Frannie Rosecrance built a 16-room white house that is now a landmark in New Milford, Illinois. First erected as a clinic for Civil War soldiers, the structure switched focus to youth and families by the late 1800s.[1] The Rosecrances left provisions in their wills to turn the house into the Rosecrance Memorial Home for Children on Aug. 11, 1916.[2] The home operated as an orphanage for boys until the early 1950s.[3]
Rosecrance has grown from serving 12 to 18 boys in 1916 to more than 37,000 clients annually (37,024 clients served in fiscal year 2018).[4]
In 1995, Rosecrance opened a $5.3 million, 76-bed adult treatment center in Rockford.[5]
In early 2004, it opened the $14 million, 78-bed, state-of-the-art Rosecrance Griffin Williamson Campus to treat adolescents.[6]
In early 2010, Rosecrance merged with the Janet Wattles Center and its subsidiaries.[7]
In July of 2016, Community Elements merged into Rosecrance in Champaign, Illinois.[8]
In January of 2018, Prairie Center merged into Rosecrance in central Illinois.[9]
Rosecrance announced an affiliation with Jackson Recovery Centers in January of 2019.[10]
