You'll also hear how OSF HealthCare is moving its new headquarters into a downtown Peoria building once destined to make way for the new Caterpillar world headquarters that never was.

Tim Shelley speaks with OSF leadership about their rapid growth and why they plan to continue calling Peoria home.
