A new patient care addition opened in May 2015.  This new addition houses the Blessing Behavioral Center which includes Behavioral Medicine Services (BMS), Adult Psychiatric Services (APS) and Child and Adolescent Services (CAS) while new outpatient offices for psychiatrists were completed simultaneously in an adjoining office building.  The Center includes secure facilities for both adults and children which are the only lock-up units in a 100 mile radius.

Our providers are all board certified in general psychiatry while some are also certified in areas of sub-specialization. 

All Providers have extremely busy practices, and continued growth in demand makes it desirable to add another generalist, who will help to meet contractual obligations for professional psychiatric services at area mental health agencies, provide telepsychiatry services to outlying facilities, and extend outpatient services. 

Board Certification is an expectation of all physicians working for the Blessing Health System.

Blessing Health System employs almost 300 physicians and advanced practice providers.  Blessing is the largest medical provider serving a 300,000+ population region composed of West Central Illinois, Northeast Missouri, and Southeast Iowa.  The System operates Blessing Hospital, a 347-bed regional referral center in Quincy, Illinois, (population 45,000) and Illini Community Hospital, a 25-bed critical access facility in Pittsfield, Illinois, (population 4,200).
