PEORIA, Ill. Over 400 OSF employees will be working in downtown Peoria in the new OSF OnCall building, a first-of-its-kind digital hub.
The first employees will begin working at the building on SW Adams St. Monday, with more to come in the following weeks.
The hub will be the OSF HealthCare center for handling patients virtually for all 14 OSF hospitals throughout Illinois and Michigan.
It’s something that was in the works before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the timing of it opening during the pandemic couldn’t be better.
The center, according to Senior Vice President of OSF Digital Health Jennifer Junis, can take care of patients virtually through every step of the health-care process.

2020 was a blur. So many important things happened in the Tri-County area, from COVID-19 to racial justice protests to the recession. Oh, and a presidential election.

There were also incidents of vandalism and looting throughout Peoria and many other communities in early June, part of a larger nationwide civil unrest tied to Floyd’s death. What s happening in our city, our state, and our nation, is beyond horrendous and repulsive, said Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis.
