| Illinois Pediatric Healthcare Specialists |
Children’s Hospital of Illinois was formally established as a pediatric hospital within the walls of OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in 1990. However, as early as 1949, our pediatricians and other specialists pioneered the nation’s first special care facility for premature infants, now known as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Each year, Children’s Hospital has over 5,000 admissions; 2,000 newborn deliveries, 16,000 emergency department visits, and more than 30,000 outpatient visits. It is the third largest pediatric hospital in Illinois and the only full service tertiary hospital for children in central Illinois.
We recognize a child’s illness impacts the entire family. Over 500 dedicated employees strive each day to provide the best service for patients and their families and have been recently recognized in national satisfaction surveys. We believe children are unique and have special needs. Today, our 127-bed facility* offers hundreds of exclusive pediatric programs, services, and treatments.
These programs represent over 75 pediatric specialists in 24 different disciplines, including the largest pediatric heart surgery program in Illinois. Children’s Hospital is also designated as a Regional Perinatal Center, a Level I Trauma Center, and central Illinois’ only Level III neonatal intensive care unit. Children’s Hospital commits itself to the very best quality healthcare in a family-centered environment.
Through a mutually beneficial affiliation with the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, Children’s Hospital of Illinois serves as the primary pediatric teaching facility. Approximately 30 residents graduate each year. This relationship provides 24-hour in-house physician coverage, immediate availability to pediatric specialists for consultation and on-going research in both clinical outcomes and quality improvement. With these principles in mind, Children’s Hospital of Illinois is proud to continue to serve children with the very best in pediatric healthcare.
