Carle Health extends access to rural healthcare, opening two new internal medicine clinics
Carle Health is excited to open two brand-new, internal medicine clinics in the Illinois Valley as part of our commitment to extending access to high-quality healthcare throughout the region. It is our privilege to bring continuity of care from trusted providers, and these clinics – located in the communities of Spring Valley and Henry – will provide our patients and their families with exceptional healthcare close to home.

With the dedication and expertise of a passionate group of experienced healthcare professionals – including one of the only Board-certified geriatrician providers in the region – we will expand our services and scope of care to more central Illinoisans than ever before.

“Our care teams and providers know these communities and patients and are thrilled to be able to continue serving their health needs at our two new clinics,” Jay Collier, Carle Health Greater Peoria vice president of clinic operations, said. “High-quality healthcare you can depend on is so important and it's our privilege to be a part of creating better health outcomes for families across the region.”

These new clinics will complement the continuity of care offered in the Carle Health system. The Spring Valley clinic will open Monday, Sept. 9, and the Henry clinic will open Monday, Sept. 30. There will be no delays or interruptions in care as we integrate our services into these new facilities.

Mario Cote, MD, and Thaw Tun, MD will be the practicing physicians at the clinics, bringing decades of experience and specialized expertise to patients. They both previously practiced in Spring Valley and Henry prior to temporary relocations in Lacon and Chillicothe while the new facilities were finalized.

“Both of these facilities are staffed with talented and experienced physicians, nurses and administrators who are committed to those they serve and will bring patients the best possible care experience,” Marcellus Austin, Carle Health Greater Peoria director of operations said. “We look forward to advancing the health needs of the families who call this area home.”

Patients can learn more about the Carle Health Spring Valley and Henry clinics on Carle.org for more information.
