Women's Health Awareness



They did a quick strep swab - results were given in 15 to 20 minutes. Nurse was very quick with the swab and that made it very comfortable.


No problems at all. It was great – thank you!


The doctor was very upbeat and made the visit to the hospital as much of a good visit as possible. He was very good at making my daughter laugh.


Everyone in Ambulatory Surgery was very pleasant. They answered all my questions with ease. I have already recommended this center to several others.


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


They already had my insurance information in the computer – nice!


As you know, a colonoscopy does not contribute to a “fun” day, but your staff made it a pleasant experience. I would recommend your facility to anyone - thank you.


My husband was a patient at your hospital for only a day and a half, but I know everyone treated him very well. Although his personality is not very good at this time in his life, everyone took it in stride. I’m very grateful!


Wonderful experience! We DREADED going because of previous doctor experiences at other places…. but your UrgentCare is great!


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.


The Ambulatory Surgery Department was a very pleasant introduction to your hospital's patient care facilities.

An Idea Born to Serve the Needs of Women Like You.

The idea for a women's healthcare facility at Pekin Hospital was the brainchild of Dorcas Malcome, Former Director of Radiology. She saw the need for a Women's Diagnostic Center through her position as a mammographer and through the eyes of her grandmother, who died of breast cancer. Since the Center is especially for women, it needed a woman's touch in the design and development phase. Retired nurses from the Pekin Hospital League took part in design decisions with the help of Tracy Hermann from PSA, the architects on the project.

The Women's Diagnostic Center was made possible by the financial backing of the Pekin Hospital Foundation and the Pekin Hospital League. Funds were raised from the Nearly-Nu Shop on Derby Street, the Gift Shop in the hospital lobby, and through other league activities. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of many volunteers and donors, the Pekin Hospital League was able to present then-CEO Doug Wilson with a check for $176,700 in January of 2002. In addition, a total of over $110,000 was raised at the annual Hospital Ball in April 2002.
