In the forefront of bringing modern medical care to the LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby-Utica area, IVCH opened a spacious new obstetrics unit in 2011. IVCH was the first hospital in the area to open a walk-in retail health clinic (at the Peru Walmart) in 2010 followed by the opening of an urgent care center (IVCH CareToday next to the Illinois Valley YMCA in Peru) in 2011. The hospital's emergency department is the largest in the Illinois Valley.
