OSF to open OB-GYN office in Peru

Clinic to open at West Street building

By Shaw Local News Network
The Hygienic Institute, long a resource for the patients of financial need, was closed Friday, June 9, 2023, but not before advisories were posted on the facade. These directed patients that Dr. Kara Fess would begin seeing patients Monday in the lower level of 920 West St. (shown here), across from the closed Peru hospital.
