I was able to do a lot of things on my own, but the Home Health ladies were very nice and friendly.

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.

Everyone at the Wellness Center was friendly and highly skilled. They answered my questions fully. In addition, the classes I had with my physical therapy were meaningful and educational. I actually miss not going to rehabilitation.

My mother became very ill in late July 2012 and has been in and out of Pekin Hospital ever since. I wish I could explain the lengths that the staff there has gone to in order to treat my mother with kindness and dignity. I wish I could explain how comforting and generous the staff has been to the rest of my family during this frightening time. There are just too many examples to cite, but they all add up to meticulous, loving care from the doctors, nurses, aides, housekeepers, cafeteria workers, lab techs, and so on. Thank you all so, so much for what you have done for us.

I was very pleased with my care. The charge nurse was very quick with the discharge papers. I appreciated that she knew I wanted to go home.

Service was good with no real delay in seeing the doctor and getting my problem treated.

Every time I pushed the nurse's button, my request was answered in a timely manner.

This visit has changed my mind considerably about Pekin Hospital and the way things are run there today. It's the people that make a difference, and you can be proud of the staff you have.

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

All of the OB nurses did a fantastic job of caring for me and my baby.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I got turned around in the hall, and I think it was a doctor who took me to my destination!
