In an effort to better serve its patients, McDonough District Hospital announced it will open a new clinic in Monmouth, Illinois, starting Monday, October 3.
The clinic will be located at 2 AmericInn Way, Suite B (location of the former Cottage Hospital Monmouth Clinic) and with operational hours Monday-Friday.
MDH will offer Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Monday-Friday from 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m. MDH providers from the Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic and Obstetrics & Gynecology Clinic will see outpatients 1-2 days a month.
Patients can begin scheduling appointments for all three service lines by calling (309) 715-7362.
A Convenience Care Clinic, with plans to operate Monday-Friday, will open sometime after the October 3 launch date.
MDH’s new clinic location came about following a strategic planning meeting on how to better serve the hospital’s patients in the northern counties of its primary and secondary service area.
“There is no MDH clinic north of Macomb and Bushnell, and currently we have more than 1,000 patients from the Monmouth area seeking medical services at MDH. That forces those patients, especially those living in Warren, Knox and Fulton County, to drive to one of our two McDonough County locations for their specialty care or primary care needs,” said MDH President/Chief Executive Officer Brian E. Dietz, FACHE. “Opening a clinic in Monmouth is a convenience for our patients, saving them time and money on travel expenses.
“MDH Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation has been voted Best of the Best in McDonough County five consecutive years, and a MDH staff member has been voted Best Physical Therapist all five years. Our award winning Rehab department will work with patients inside a larger physical therapy area within the Monmouth Clinic,” said Dietz. “We have an ample amount of exam rooms for our Ear, Nose & Throat and OB/GYN clinic appointments, and Convenience Care Clinic patients once that primary care service line begins.”
