Awards & Certifications

For more than a century, we've offered a team of skilled physicians, nurses, technicians and medical workers dedicated to providing patient-focused community care that makes a difference. It's an accomplishment we're proud of and a commitment we're determined to keep.

OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center has the area's largest inpatient rehabilitation center, featuring facilities for physical, occupational and speech therapy.

We are also home to the area's only Adult Behavioral Health Unit in a hospital setting. Its design incorporates a holistic approach to care, much like our state-of-the art Blessed Beginnings Birthing Center that includes home-like birthing suites.

While the special touch makes both facilities comfortable for patients, they also feature advanced technology.

We strive to provide you what you deserve – excellent care. From the moment you walk in the door, our qualified and skilled staff are here to care for you every step of the way.
