THE COMMUNITY Galesburg, Illinois
Experience the best in western Illinois
Founded in 1909, OSF HealthCare St. Mary Medical Center is an 83-bed acute care hospital located in Galesburg, Illinois, and serves seven counties in west-central Illinois.
With a population of 30,000, Galesburg is big enough to be a regional hub for great shopping, dining and recreation, but small enough to maintain its small-town roots. First settled in 1836, Galesburg has a rich legacy of contributions to the nation's history. The first anti-slavery society in Illinois was founded here, Knox College was a site for one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, and Galesburg was home to the great author and Abraham Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg.
Galesburg is a center of activity for residents of west-central Illinois. It's also conveniently located on an Amtrak line, with easy access via Interstate 74 to two international airports and more in Peoria and the Quad Cities.
