Methodist Medical Center is a 346-bed facility with 600 board-certified physicians providing a full spectrum of health care services. Methodist physicians are backed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals including nurses, technologists, therapists, social workers, clinicians, and pastoral caregivers, who combine high-tech medicine with genuine warmth and caring. Methodist was founded in 1900 with a simple goal: to raise the level of healthcare in Central Illinois. Today its commitment to world-class cardiovascular care includes the opening of the new Methodist Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, the development of cardiology fellowship programs at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, and a partnership with world-pioneer Arizona Heart Institute. In addition to leading-edge offerings in heart care, Methodist features the most comprehensive behavioral health services in the area; state-of-the-art diagnostic services, including one of the world's most advanced PET scanners; and innovative health services for women. The hospital also established the area's first mobile mammography unit in central Illinois and is home to Peoria's largest dedicated emergency Chest Pain Center. The Methodist emphasis on quality has resulted in outstanding, measurable results displayed on its website (www.mmci.org). Its goal is to be one of the Top 5% of hospitals in America.
