Notability
This article has been tagged for notability. Just what are the notability standards for a hospital anyway? This information would help us improve the article. Level I Trauma, NICU, and PICU would seem to indicate notability to me, but I'm not experienced in the health care area. On a related note, I've got some NICU images I could add in the event someone creates a section on the subject. E-mail me when ready. Rklawton (talk) 02:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

adding requested citations
Hello, I see there are several requests for references on this article.

Regarding being the Level 1 Trauma Center for the 26 counties, there is a page on IDPH website showing OSF SFMC as the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Region 2. There is another IDPH with a regional map to show the regional offices. However on the trama center page there are 11 regions and on the regional offices page there are only 7 regions.

Would the first link be a valuable citation or not? Sister Rose (talk) 18:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

It is the only Level I Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center for that region. It is the largest hospital in the Peoria metropolitan area and in Central Illinois. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.133.112 (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Focus of article
Is this about the medical center or the like named hospital? It seems to be about the hospital mostly with the intro being about the medical center. Can someone who is familiar clean this up? The easiest if I'm correct would be to rename this to OSF Saint Francis Hospital and recreate an article for the medical center. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:01, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "OSF Saint Francis Medical Center" is just the name of what used to be called (and normal people still call) "St. Francis Hospital" in Peoria; not(?) to be confused with "OSF Medical Group", the brand name for their doctors' offices. Their rivals across the highway did the same thing earlier: changed their name from "Methodist Hospital" to "Methodist Medical Center of Illinois"; that hospital recently got eaten by Iowa Health System and now uses the even less helpful name "UnityPoint Health Methodist".  OSF Healthcare still uses the name "OSF St. Francis Hospital" for their hospital and doctors' offices in Escanaba, Michigan; if I remember, these two hospitals (Peoria and Escanaba) were the one those nuns had for decades before they started buying other hospitals.  Just to make matters more confusing, sometimes certain groups try to market this Peoria neighborhood with 3 or 4 different institutions as the "Downstate Medical Center of Illinois" or some other such name, but that's a fantasy designation to attract staffing and political favors from outsiders; most locals wouldn't know what it meant if you said it. --Closeapple (talk) 00:02, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
