Making the Best Accessible to All
Managing your health can be tough. Getting the best care shouldn’t be.
Unfortunately for residents of the Quincy region, it too often is.
Limited healthcare options have resulted in Quincy-area residents paying disproportionately high rates for healthcare. In fact, we pay more than Chicago residents.
The new small-format hospital is designed to drive down costs and make the very best in patient care accessible to all. After all, we’re not just doctors. We’re your neighbors. And we believe everyone in Quincy deserves the very best.
QMG Hospital is part of QMG’s ongoing mission to improve care for the region, empower patients and their physicians, enhance care coordination and clinical outcomes, expand the community’s choices in healthcare services and reduce costs.
Quincy Medical Group Hospital will be a physician-led and governed nonprofit, taxable, organization. Excess revenues earned by the hospital will be reinvested in care and the community.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are building a patient-centered, physician-led, nonprofit, state-of-the-art, small-format hospital to expand access to the latest high-quality, low-cost care for the Tri-State area.
The hospital is part of our ongoing mission to improve care for residents of the region, empower patients and their physicians, enhance care coordination and clinical outcomes, expand the community’s choices in healthcare services, and reduce costs.
Increased competition through Quincy Medical Group (QMG) physicians caring for patients in their own inpatient facility will reduce healthcare costs. The new hospital will allow QMG patients to be under the care of their healthcare professional of choice along every step and in every setting of their healthcare journey. Research has shown that this continuity of care improves outcomes, lowers costs and increases patient satisfaction.
We are committed to providing the highest-quality care in the lowest-cost setting and have a demonstrated record of success getting this done. Currently, the only time we cannot effectively manage costs is when our patients require hospital care. The new small-format hospital will allow us to provide the same low-cost, high-quality care across all care settings.
All healthcare providers want what’s best for patients and everyone agrees that competition provides patients with more choice, lower costs, better clinical outcomes, and elevated patient experiences.
The hospital will have approximately 25 med-surg beds, 3 labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum or LDRP rooms, an emergency department with 10 bays, a c-section suite, 3 operating rooms, and 1 procedure room. It will also feature a post-anesthesia care unit, laboratory, pharmacy and imaging department. Three of the medical-surgical beds will be equipped to serve as negative pressure rooms, or isolation rooms, to aid in infectious disease outbreaks.
Yes. QMG Hospital will be structured as a physician-developed and physician-governed nonprofit, taxable hospital. Any profits from the operation of the hospital will be redirected towards the development of hospital facilities, like new equipment or for other operational purposes of the hospital. The facility will be adjacent to the QMG Cancer Institute and QMG Ambulatory Surgery Center, representing our commitment to delivering high-quality care that is best suited to our patients’ needs.
Healthcare is changing. Smaller, easy-access facilities are needed now and moving forward. This facility will be the perfect complement to our 18 existing practice sites across Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
QMG has offered nearly every healthcare service over its rich 85-year history, with the exception of hosting patients for overnight stays. We are building the hospital to offer these patients more choice, convenience, and personalized guidance in their healthcare needs.
A certificate of need (CON) application was approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board (HFSRB) Tuesday, April 26, 2022. The project timeline will be forthcoming.
QMG has been the region’s premier physician group for more than 80 years, providing services ranging from traditional primary care to robotic surgeries. With more than 1,000 employees and 18 existing practice sites across three states, we bring best-in-class care where it’s needed most.
