About Us
Since 1913, Pekin Hospital has been dedicated to improving the health of its community. Just 20 minutes south of Peoria in central Illinois, we are a 98-bed medical center that provides advanced care and state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities offered by few other hospitals our size. Yet we remain small enough to give personal attention to our patients and their families during major and minor illnesses and injuries.
Pekin Hospital is easy to find at Court and 13th Streets in Pekin, serving Tazewell, Mason and Peoria counties. Approximately 240 physicians in more than 26 medical specialties work closely with our highly credentialed nursing staff and healthcare professionals to care for our patients. Pekin Hospital also provides inpatient physicians who are board certified in their respective specialties and clinically trained to care specifically for hospital patients.
At Pekin Hospital, we are committed to keeping you healthy and providing the best possible treatment, and we are committed to being the right size to give you personal care.
Our Mission:
To improve the health and well-being of our community and to do so with love, compassion, and extraordinary medical care.
Our Vision:
Pekin Hospital will be the place where patients receive the highest quality healthcare and where every physician and employee can make a difference.
