Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce the opening of the Chester Clinic in the newly constructed Medical Office Building (MOB) connected to the hospital. This state-of-the-art facility, which began construction on September 5, 2023, is now operational ahead of its original early 2025 completion date, with the clinic celebrating their ribbon cutting on October 28, 2024.
The new location offers a comprehensive range of services, including primary care excellence with routine check-ups, preventive care, and chronic condition management provided by our Family Practice Providers. Patients can now access advanced imaging and laboratory testing conveniently located down the hall. Additionally, the Memorial Community Pharmacy offers convenient prescription pick-ups. Designed with staff workflows and patient convenience in mind, the building features a spacious canopy for easy patient drop-off and a covered hallway that seamlessly connects it to the existing hospital.
“We are thrilled to open the Chester Clinic in this modern facility, which shows our commitment to providing exceptional care and convenience to our patients,” said Brett Bollmann, CEO of Memorial Hospital. “This move enhances access to primary care and integrates our services more closely, ensuring a smoother experience for our community.”
The clinic will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours available on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 7:00am. The Steeleville Family Practice will remain open and continue to serve patients in the Steeleville area, ensuring that the community has access to the same high-quality, compassionate care they have come to rely on.
Convenient Care will also be opening in the MOB at a later date, with walk-in services for non-emergency medical needs. This addition will provide patients with greater flexibility and access to care for minor illnesses and injuries, further enhancing the comprehensive healthcare services available at Memorial Hospital.
In addition to the new clinic space, the MOB project includes significant upgrades to the existing parking lot and drive, such as a drive-thru for prescription pick-ups at the Memorial Community Pharmacy. These improvements are part of Memorial Hospital’s long-term strategy to enhance patient-centered healthcare, safety, and employee well-being.
Over the past six years, Memorial Hospital has continuously updated its facilities to meet the evolving needs of the community. “At Memorial, we are committed to delivering professional excellence and ensuring the delivery of safe, quality healthcare, compassion, and outstanding service to our patients, the community, and our staff,” added Bollmann. “We are dedicated to building a healthier community and are grateful for our skilled staff who support our mission and provide exceptional care to our patients.”
