care in smaller communities.
Cooper said, "At each of these clinics, women will find the heart of
our care. While the miracle of labor and delivery will happen at OSF
HealthCare St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington, everything else
- from prenatal and postpartum care to well-woman checkups and
gynecologic care - will be right in their neighborhood, close to
home sweet home.
“Our OSF Sisters committed to caring for patients
many years ago and continue to do so today. We are blessed to be
part of a Ministry with the Mission of serving others with the
greatest care and love."

without all of you, we wouldn't be here today. We are truly blessed.
Thank you!"
