Blessing Resource Center designed to ‘take the confusion out of healthcare’

QUINCY — A ribbon cutting was held Tuesday as Blessing Health System opened its Blessing Resource Center, which will provide a personalized, concierge-like service targeted to help consumers navigate their health in one place or with one phone call.

The Blessing Resource Center will be a place for patients to learn about services, the cost of services, request medical records, establish a new patient, schedule appointments and obtain answers to general health service questions.

“Our goal is to create a seamless and personalized experience for every consumer,” Pat Gerveler, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Blessing Health System, said in a press release. “The Blessing Resource Center will take the confusion out of healthcare, as it can be a barrier.”

The Blessing Resource Center will provide information for all Blessing Health System entities — Blessing Hospital, Blessing Physician Services, Hannibal Clinic and Illini Community Hospital.

The Blessing Resource Center opens Wednesday, June 9, next to the Blessing Express Clinic in the former Sears Tire building, 420 N. 34^th, in Quincy. It is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number is 217-277-5000.
