A dedication for the new OSF Center for Health – Streator was held yesterday in Streator.

OSF Healthcare System has now assumed ownership of what was once known as St. Mary’s Hospital.

During the dedication ceremony, officials recognized the many years of service by Hospital Sisters Health System to the community.

The new facility will occupy the former hospital site at 111 Spring Street in Streator. It will include a wide array of outpatient services and when completed, urgent care services. They are currently awaiting State of Illinois approval for a stand-alone emergency center.

An open house will be held at the new center Saturday, January 16, from 9 to noon.
