Additional services will become available in the second phase, according to a news release issued by OSF HealthCare.

More than 450 former employees, physicians and advanced medical providers from St. Margaret’s Health have been hired to staff the hospitals and other facilities.

Last spring, OSF HealthCare took over facilities from St. Margaret’s Health-Peru, including the hospital, which had closed in January 2023.
