Be Part of the Tradition
OSF Saint Paul Medical Center has always been more than just a hospital; it has been a cornerstone of the Mendota community. Prior to opening the original hospital in 1951, residents, business people and corporations of Mendota and surrounding communities donated all of the funds required to build and equip the OSF Saint Paul, using no tax dollars. These donations the hospital, in every sense of the word, a community project.
Following in the footsteps of tradition the new OSF Saint Paul Medical Center will not collect any tax dollars, and will strive to continue to define a community hospital. Passionate citizens will have the opportunity to engrave their names on a wall, or name benches, rooms and even the hospital itself.
