Pekin Hospital has made a lot of great changes for the best... it benefits me as a patient and Pekin as my hometown.


My Dad was a patient at Pekin Hospital, and I just want you to know how pleased we are with the care he had. Jeremiah was my Dad's nurse most of the time - he is so kind, caring and compassionate. I've never met a nurse like him.


It was a very good experience. I have used the Women’s Diagnostic Center several times and have always been pleased – the staff is very professional, confidential, and pleasant. Pekin Hospital is an excellent facility.


Excellent! Was nervous about going to the emergency room but the staff was very good to me – thank you.


They were expecting me. I had gone to the doctor’s office and they suggested I go to the ER. They called to let them know I was coming and everything was already taken care of when I got there. I appreciate having a facility available when I need it.


When my daughter was ill, I called the office to get their help. The nurse returned my call within 15 minutes and scheduled an appointment to see the doctor within the hour.


It was not my intention to deliver at Pekin Hospital - I was pre-registered at a Peoria hospital... but I was having strong contractions, an ice storm was starting, and my doctor was gone on vacation. I drove myself to Pekin Hospital since I live less than a mile away. I was treated so well that I decided to deliver there.


I had exceptional service! It would be nice if all medical offices were as cheerful and courteous as this one. The whole staff was great!


It was just an excellent experience at The Baby Place!


I liked being able to order off a menu. The variety of food was good and it was tasteful.


Everyone was kind and considerate. They were very helpful with the directions about what I should do when I get home.
