CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF ILLINOIS

What CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF ILLINOIS does

Children's Hospital of Illinois (legal name OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois, doing business as CHOI) is a nonprofit comprehensive pediatric hospital located in Peoria, Illinois, operating as a core facility within the OSF HealthCare Catholic nonprofit health system. The hospital delivers family-centered pediatric care from birth through young adulthood, with 140+ experienced pediatric specialists providing services across more than 40 medical specialties and subspecialties including cardiology, oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, surgery, maternal-fetal medicine, behavioral health, rehabilitation, sleep disorders, and emergency and inpatient care. Its principal distinguishing program is the Congenital Heart Center, positioned as the only comprehensive congenital heart program in Illinois outside of Chicago.

The underlying operational footprint is a single integrated hospital facility supplemented by affiliated outpatient locations across central Illinois, supported by patient-facing portals (Find a Provider, Find a Location, Get Care Now) and content marketing through the OSF HealthCare web ecosystem, including patient story blogs and a USA Today docuseries feature. Service delivery combines direct emergency access, scheduled appointments, and provider referrals into a family-centered care model.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service clinical billing across insurance, Medicaid, and self-pay channels, supplemented by charitable donations via the OSF HealthCare Foundation. As a nonprofit facility within a faith-based health system, the hospital reinvests surpluses into programs and capital rather than distributing earnings, and ownership is structured around the mission of OSF HealthCare rather than equity holders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with a Price Transparency portal referenced for billing inquiries.
