State approves OSF, Mendota hospital affiliation

A state review board approved an affiliation agreement between Mendota Community Hospital and OSF Healthcare System. The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board gave its official nod to the deal Wednesday. Mendota opened a new 25-bed critical access hospital in 2011. The complex includes a medical office building. The hospital has 12 staff physicians and 15 ER contract doctors. By comparison OSF employs more than 670 doctors with various specialties and another 300 advanced practitioners who are part of the OSF Medical Group.
