Recovery isn’t "one size fits all," and we believe healing should feel a bit more personal. 🏡💛

Our swing bed program gives people just the right support after a hospital stay, offering skilled nursing and therapy until they’re ready to return to the moments that matter most – like grabbing coffee with a friend or walking the dog without wincing. It’s all about helping you gain strength, confidence and independence at your pace, surrounded by the people and places you love.

Future health care heroes spotted! 👀🧡

Today, students from Kewanee High School’s health career pathway toured the hospital, getting an inside look at what it means to care for our community. The pathway enables students to focus their high school education on their career goals in specific areas.

As part of their 60-hour job shadowing requirement, students explored the areas where they’ll be learning hands-on, including Radiology, Cardiopulmonary, Laboratory, Inpatient, Rehabilitation and OSF Medical Group.

We’re proud to support students who are curious, compassionate and ready to explore a future in health care – right here at home. Interested in learning more about programs and services available at OSF Saint Luke? https://bit.ly/3ZICI5W

💚 Spotlight: Britta Marty, DNP

Meet Britta Marty, Director of Nursing Operations at OSF St. Mary Medical Center, OSF Holy Family Medical Center and OSF Saint Luke

🕊️ Britta has been part of OSF HealthCare for 12 years, bringing dedication, leadership and compassion to every role she’s held.

💬 “Honestly, my favorite part is the people – getting to interact with patients and visitors is really the reason I chose health care,” said Britta. “I also like the operations side, figuring out how to make things run smoother so our nurses are supported and patients get the best care.”

💖 When asked what serving with the greatest care and love means to her, Britta shared:
“To me, it means treating every patient, visitor, and Mission Partner as if they were my own family. It’s about going beyond the task – really listening, showing compassion and making people feel seen and valued. On the operations side, it means building systems that help nurses give their best care, so patients feel that love in every interaction.”

🌟 Fun facts about Britta:
The majority of her OSF career has been in Peoria, where she served as a Ministry ICU float nurse before moving into leadership as a Ministry Operations Supervisor and later as Nursing Manager at OSF Holy Family. She holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and has a strong passion for rural health and supporting high-quality, compassionate care across the OSF West Central Region.

One of Britta’s proudest honors was receiving the Exemplary Professional Practice Award during the pandemic – a recognition made even more meaningful because she was nominated by a patient she cared for at OSF St. Mary.

🏈 Outside of work, Britta and her husband, Cole, are blessed with four busy children and love cheering them on in all their sporting events!

We’re grateful for Britta’s leadership, compassion and commitment to serving with the greatest care and love. 💜
