In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF Healthcare is to serve people with the greatest care and love in a community that celebrates the gift of life.
Children's Hospital of Illinois is the only full service tertiary hospital for kids in downstate Illinois. With 127 beds and over 75 pediatric subspecialists, Children's Hospital cares for more children in Illinois than any hospital outside of Chicago.
We know that:
- Children are unique and have special needs.
- A child's illness impacts the entire family.
- Childhood illness interferes with normal childhood growth and development.
