New office located at 920 West St., Building A

By Shaw Local News Network
The Hygienic Institute, long a resource for the patients of financial need, was closed Friday, June 9, 2023, but not before advisories were posted on the facade. These directed patients that Dr. Kara Fess would begin seeing patients Monday in the lower level of 920 West St. (shown here), across from the closed Peru hospital.

OSF HealthCare announced the expansion of its OSF Medical Group – Orthopedic Services to Peru.

This strategic expansion will bring advanced orthopedic care closer to Illinois Valley residents, ensuring they have access to high-quality medical services within the community, OSF said in a news release.

The new Peru orthopedic office is located at 920 West St., Medical Office Building A, Suite 221. It will open Monday, July 29, and will have X-ray services located adjacent to the clinic. The office will be staffed by orthopedic surgeons Connor Kasik and Robert Mitchell, and providers Debra Pyzska and Shannon Whitley. In addition, starting this fall, another OrthoMidwest sports medicine surgeon, Dr. Tiger Onsen, will join the local team.

“We are excited to bring orthopedic services back to the Illinois Valley,” Dawn Trompeter, president of OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center and OSF Saint Paul Medical Center, said in the release. “This office addition reflects our commitment to providing exceptional health care services to more communities and ensuring that patients receive the specialized care they need without having to travel long distances.”
