OSF HealthCare welcomes Illinois Valley residents
Though St. Margaret’s Health facilities have closed in the Illinois Valley, OSF HealthCare is available to provide the best possible care for patients.
“OSF HealthCare truly values the services St. Margaret’s Health provided the Illinois Valley communities, and we are working diligently to ensure we minimize gaps,” says August Querciagrossa, Chief Executive Officer Western Region, OSF HealthCare. “We accept all patients at any of our OSF locations, regardless of ability to pay. We realize the sudden impact this change has had on Illinois Valley residents who need medical care.”
