CGH Medical Center is dedicated to providing exceptional care to all our patients. To that end, CGH broke ground on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, for the future home of the CGH Rock Falls Medical Center, at 1315 Dixon Avenue, Rock Falls, IL.
The future 7000 square foot facility will provide Rock Falls community members more convenient access to primary care services. It will accommodate four full-time primary care providers, and will feature a drop-off canopy and more adequate parking.
With golden shovels in hand, left-to-right, are Scott Winter, VP Design, and Mark Winter, CEO, Winter Construction; Rock Falls Mayor Bill Wescott; land owner Ron Gerken; CGH Board Chair Andy Moore; CGH CEO Dr. Paul Steinke; Shane Brown, VP CGH Clinics; Eric and Medhu Gresla, Architects.
“This new facility will offer a better footprint for providing primary care services to residents in Rock Falls and our surrounding communities for many years to come,” said Shane Brown, VP Physician Services and CGH Clinics.
Construction is expected to start this month (weather permitting), and the facility is expected to open by January 2019.
CGH has been considering building a new, larger, Rock Falls facility, specifically designed for a medical clinic, for some time. The current facility at 100 W. 1st Street has been rented from the Peterson family since 2005–an economical solution at that time. In order to better serve the Rock Falls community, the new facility has been in the works since April 2017, with final board approval in October 2017.
During construction, primary care patients will still be seen at the current 100 W. 1st Street location. Care is provided by Pediatrician Manorama Hermon, MD, FAAP, and family medicine Nurse Practitioners Donna Cook, APN, NP-C, Toni Ikens, APN, FNP-BC, and Jennifer Garriott, APN, FNP-BC.
CGH has 16 clinics throughout the Sauk Valley area in Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, Milledgeville, Morrison, Mount Carroll, Polo, Prophetstown, Tampico, and Walnut, IL.
