He didn't say it was either oh wise one. He referred to the building as "the hospital". No wonder you screw up so much. Your lack of comprehension is amazing. Insert usual Kyle comments in 4,3,2,1...

If their gonna use all 6 floors,then Just restore the hospital back into a full functional inpatient hospital emergency room care facility again instead of sending patients to other hospitals for inpatient care hospitalization.

Gee kickstained, don't get your panties in a wad. I was just trying to figure out if we had to worry about our City Manager filing another FTC complaint against them for taking away what he believes is going to help repatriate the jobs lost over the last 25 years. dog certainly didn't say the hospital "building", or the "former" hospital. It is not a hospital, is it? There is a big difference, isn't there? It isn't my comprehension, it is that dog stated it wrong. Many people like to try to pick apart what I say and correct me when they think I am wrong. Is there some problem when I return the favor? So, now that that is cleared up and we still don't have a hospital, when will employers' health care costs here be lowered enough to start repatriating those jobs, or was that just another lie out of our City Hall? We certainly should be able to trust what our City Manager says, shouldn't we? Doesn't it seem that we can't though?

No, "the hospital" is not staying, just the "building" that the "former" hospital was in. There is a big difference. I know it is difficult for some people to comprehend, but our community has declined so much that we no longer have a hospital. It's really not that hard to understand though, people should at least try to get it right, don't you think?

What difference does that make? It's still not a hospital, right? When our dollar is gone in a few months and our society has crumbled, as you claim it will, will it really matter what company it is? According to you, won't our health care be in a cornfield tent next to our schools? Perhaps we should stop taking so many handouts from the Chinese now, so that maybe we won't have to murder so many of them, don't you think?

The Urgent Care center can still stabilize and treat anything really. And honestly, when it was a major hospital..anything major couldn't be handled there anyway. If you had a major heart attack..you were (and still are!!) stabilized and shipped out.. But maybe if people wouldn't clutter the center up with toothaches and hangnails..

Which has always been like that. No specialist wants to be around Streator and stay. But at least we will not have another empty lot. And people are still going out of town like in the past for specialist, like a heart doctor or for their diabeties. Most residence here in town don't have confidence in our local doctors as it is.

You are correct Kyle, it is no longer classified as a Hospital, for now....currently.....since....the end of the calendar year? Since they announced that they will be staying in this building and using it, it may allow them to resume use as a Hospital without first consulting Kyle Mitchell though, correct? The Majestic has had times when it was not a Theatre, but people still know it as the Majestic. People that may not have known Flips may have known the Coast to Coast building. Many people still refer to Casa as the old Pizza Hut or Planet Pizza as Steve's Market even though it may be close to 20 years since that business occupied the building. Old habits die hard with us 'old people' sometimes. Gee southy, are you getting your panties wadded up too? Was there some place that you thought I had indicated that they had to consult me? There are many people on here who seem to have their inside information from our City leaders and try to pick apart everything that I say to try to make sure that I don't say anything that is not correct. It should go the same for them, don't you think? I was just checking to make sure that I didn't miss a news article or that it wasn't another of the many things that our City tries to hide from the community and dog was releasing some of his inside information. Since it isn't a hospital, maybe people should start referring to it properly, don't you think? Calling it our non-hospital could help remind some people that our community continues to decline due to the poor results of our leaders to keep asking for better, don't you think?

The reason they are staying in the hospital building is because of the new Tif district The city put in on the south side of town. The hospital is in it,and will save osf alot of Money in renovations costs.

The hospital is in it,and will save osf alot of Money in renovations costs. Not sure of keeping the hospital building due to TIF district has anything to do with it. I think that in the long run that it is cheaper to Renovate a building verses to having to buy land, and build a brand new building. Especially considering that it would be a pain in the neck to have certain permits for every little thing that is be built. I believe that it would be more cost effective to renovate in the long wrong.

Streator again has a full-service emergency room at the OSF Center for Health in Streator.
The status changing Streator's urgent care center to an emergency room became official Thursday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the former St. Mary's Hospital.
While the urgent care center at the location had been treating emergency situations, it could not receive official ER status until licensed by the state health department. Until it received official status, Medicaid and Medicare patients could not be reimbursed for ambulance rides to the facility.
The emergency center is staffed around the clock to attend to life-threatening emergencies.
"Our vision for Streator is to provide an innovative care model, and this progress is one more step toward our goal of improving residents’ overall health and wellness," said David Gorenz, OSF HealthCare regional chief executive officer, in a press statement.
Since purchasing the hospital form HSHS, OSF HealthCare has said it would like to use the Streator facility as a model for the changing needs of outpatient and emergency health care. The center offers diagnostic imaging, cardiac care, rehabilitation services and labs, in addition to outpatient services and wellness offerings including an exercise program.
“Only a small percentage of patients who visit freestanding emergency centers end up needing hospitalization,” said Gorenz. “Patients with true emergent conditions now have an efficient access point.”
A press release indicated OSF Center for Health-Streator provides access to a network of more than 700 doctors, specialists and medical services.
"Patients needing less intensive treatment — those with sprains or strains, insect bites or minor illnesses — are advised to see their primary care providers or obtain immediate care through an OSF PromptCare facility to avoid fees associated with life-saving emergency room services," according to the press release.
The nearest OSF PromptCare is at OSF HealthCare-South, 1640 First Ave., Ottawa.
