I was born in southtown hospital in 1952. This was a home for unwed mothers. Does anyone have any information on this place and know where the records might be stored.

So far all I could find so far is that it was located at 5701 S. Wood and became known as Central Community Hospital sometime in the late 1950's. Central Community Hospital closed around 1990.

It became Central Community Hospital on January 3 1958. Also, here is a previous discussion of the hospital:

I do have to disagree with the statement that it was opened in 1932 because I've found references to it in the Tribune as early as 1929.
