                  Galesburg Cottage Hospital Added to the Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Network

                  Galesburg Cottage Hospital Added to the Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Network
                  Galesburg Cottage Hospital will be joining the Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield  Insurance Network.  Effective January 1, 2018, Galesburg Cottage Hospital will be included in one of the largest PPO networks in Illinois, and as a result, those Knox and Warren County residents in the Blue Cross network will now have access to the hospital’s emergency services, wound and hyperbaric healing center and orthopedic and surgical services for the first time in 37 years. The last time Galesburg Cottage Hospital was included in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois network was back in 1985.

                  About the announcement, Jim Flynn, Galesburg Cottage Hospital Chief Executive Officer said, “This will be a positive impact on the health of thousands of Knox and Warren County residents." Flynn added, “Our physicians and providers are excited that their patients will now have access to convenient local services without having to travel to Peoria for specialty services such as  an Emergency Department with an Accredited Chest Pain Center and a Certified Primary Stroke Center as well as hyperbaric wound healing treatments that previously weren’t available to Blue Cross Patients without paying an out-of-network fee.”

                  Galesburg Cottage Hospital is a Level II Trauma Center and its Emergency Department is approved for Pediatrics by the State of Illinois. The Cottage Birthing Center features ensuite labor and delivery rooms and its Older Adult Behavioral Health Unit was recently expanded to a 16 beds.
