PEORIA, Ill. – OSF Healthcare will be expanding its reach north.
OSF and St. Margaret’s Health, based in the LaSalle-Peru area, have signed a letter of intent.
It will allow for OSF to purchase assets from the Illinois Valley-based provider, including St. Margaret’s Health-Peru, which closed in January.
The intent is to bring an emergency department and other inpatient services back to the region.
“The Mission of OSF HealthCare to serve with the greatest care and love has always been extended to and inclusive of the Illinois Valley,” said August Querciagrossa, Chief Executive Officer Western Region, OSF HealthCare. “Our intent is to preserve and sustain access to high quality, local health care for the residents of these communities.”
The next step in the process of the purchase is to get regulatory approval.
