Everything was great! I highly recommend your hospital to everyone. I will not have a procedure done at any other hospital because I love the personal feeling at PMH. You guys are #1.


We both enjoyed the home health care, therapists and nurses. They were all very kind and helpful.


My husband was a patient in UrgentCare, and he was very impressed with the friendly, professional staff.


I was impressed with the MRI building and staff at Pekin Hospital.


I had a very long labor and delivery, but I am so glad I made the choice to deliver at your hospital! Your staff was excellent! A special thank you to Dorothea and Laurel for everything they did. They truly did everything in their power to make sure our baby was taken care of.


I have had surgery at Pekin and Peoria, and I prefer Pekin any time. All the nurses on 5 North are great!


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.


Have always gotten excellent care. The staff go way beyond caring, helping, and seeing to our safety as a patient. Always a smile.


Our nurse was great! She was very friendly, with genuine concern. I did not have a copy of my current medical card, but the registration person told me I already had one on file. She looked it up and printed it for me!


Everyone - even the CNAs on the floor and transporters - was outstanding. I have just never seen that type of personal care like my Dad received the few days he was at Pekin Hospital.


From the time I came through the doors for my surgery until I left from having it, I was comfortable.
