OSF HealthCare Children’s Hospital of Illinois is home to a 24-hour emergency room designed for children and families. This child-friendly atmosphere promotes privacy, healing and family-centered care. Our private exam rooms were designed to keep our young patients and their caregivers as calm and comfortable as possible.

Located next to the OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center emergency department in Peoria, we offer a separate entrance and waiting room just for kids and families.
