OSF HealthCare Expanding Services in Pekin

OSF HealthCare is expanding services in Pekin with a new medical facility at East Court Village Shopping Center, 3500 Court St.

OSF Center for Health – Pekin will open in early 2017 and offer primary care with same-day access to a team of providers that treat patients of all ages; provide clinical access to a variety of specialists; in addition to offering ancillary services such as lab, EKG, and X-Ray, all of which will improve the convenience of services to residents. OSF said in a news release.  

Permits have been filed with the City of Pekin to allow for the construction and renovation of the former Big Lots building on Court Street. Cullinan Properties owns and operates the center and will coordinate design and construction work. OSF will lease more than 18,000 square feet for its Center for Health – Pekin.

“OSF HealthCare has a long-standing history of serving the Pekin community and this new Center for Health strengthens our commitment to the residents of Pekin and Tazewell County to provide easier access to primary care and specialty services,” said Mark Nafziger, CEO of ambulatory care for OSF Medical Group.

“We are thrilled to work with OSF HealthCare and welcome them to Pekin in an expanded capacity,” said Pekin Mayor John McCabe. “The opportunity to bring new life to a recently vacated building, along with the addition of new jobs and services, is a boost to the Pekin economy.”

The Center for Health – Pekin will complement the recent additions of OSF Medical Group -- Pekin and OSF Medical Group – Tremont to the family of OSF physician practices.
