Carle Health

A court filing shows Carle Health Methodist Hospital, formerly UnityPoint, admits to a medical mistake prompting a lawsuit originally filed in 2021.

Carle Health is now urging patients and visitors to wear masks at all of its hospitals and clinics to reduce the spread of respiratory illness.

Peoria Public Schools currently has 326 children who are identified as homeless.

Transportation remains one of the biggest barriers to accessing behavioral health services, especially in rural areas.

Construction is almost complete on a new children’s behavioral health facility to serve the Peoria area.

Dr. Ahmed Agameya, a pulmonologist at Carle Health Methodist Hospital in Peoria, says the use of an ION Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy procedure makes it easier to diagnose lung cancer at an earlier stage.

Dr. Samuel Sears, the consult psychiatrist for OSF Saint. Francis Medical Center in Peoria and director of physician services for the behavioral health service line, says the unfortunate reality of the situation is that there’s currently a great mismatch when it comes to the need for mental health services and the people available to provide that care.

The Peoria police behavioral health co-responder program, originally set to be up and running by the end of 2022, is one step closer to happening. But it needs a director first.

Kids are getting a needed break from school this summer, but that doesn't mean they don't still need to give their brains and bodies an occasional workout to stay healthy - mentally and physically.

The tools are out, and renovations are officially underway at the facility that will become the Peoria area’s main hub for children’s behavioral health services.
