PEORIA (WEEK) — The former Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton is now officially a part of the OSF HealthCare Ministry.
The transfer of ownership became official on July 1. OSF HealthCare officials in January announced the affiliation agreement.
The hospital in Bureau County, a 25-bed critical access facility, has now been relabeled OSF HealthCare Saint Clare Medical Center.
According to the press release, it is one of the county’s largest employers.
“While the signs may change, the care that’s going to be provided is still from those same people that have been serving the community for years and they’re still taking care of their friends, family, and neighbors and that’s not going to change. That caring and compassion is going to be here but now supported by the OSF Mission and values across the Ministry that’s able to support us and help serve the community,” said Jackie Kernan, president of OSF Saint Clare Medical Center in the press release.
Coadjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Peoria Louis Tylka held a blessing and dedication ceremony. Additionally, OSF said it was pleased to welcome nearly 300 new employees.
The Princeton-based hospital is now the 15th hospital in the Peoria area.
Discussions to explore the partnership that ultimately led to the transfer of ownership began in August of 2019 with representatives of Perry Memorial Hospital, the City of Princeton, which owned the hospital, and OSF HealthCare. The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board approved the change of ownership exemption application in January of 2021.
