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 couldn't have been cared for any better. You are just the right size, just the right distance from my home.

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

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.

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.

Anytime we had a question, the ladies at Home Health called us back promptly. They taught me the proper way to use a shower chair. My safety and comfort were foremost during my home therapy.

The supervisor was training another worker. They were both excellent and must have asked me if I was comfortable at least five times! It was a great experience.

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.

My experiences with the Women's Diagnostic Center have always been very good. I especially like not having to wait ... getting in and out in a matter of minutes.

I am a Type I diabetic, and they took very good care of me in the ER. The doctor and nurses were very thoughtful.

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