Mr. Querciagrossa leads efforts to address access to care, including the expansion of emergency services in rural areas. He played a pivotal role in developing a model of care to support Illinois Valley communities when St. Margaret’s Health – Spring Valley (Ill.) closed in 2023, working with his teams to quickly establish local options for urgent care, primary care, digital care, obstetrics and gynecology, occupational health and rehabilitation services. He is leading the opening of a second OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center campus in rural Peru, Ill., which is expected to open in the spring. He has overseen Illinois Valley job growth and creation by spearheading efforts to hire over 400 former St. Margaret Health employees, more than 50 physicians, and advanced medical providers. He oversees eight hospitals, several of which achieved national rankings. OSF Saint Luke was awarded a 4-star rating in January 2024 by the National Rural Rating System, a program recognizing excellence in rural health care. Additionally, OSF Saint Elizabeth and OSF Saint Paul were recognized for performance leadership by Chartis Center for Rural Health. OSF brought Perry Memorial Hospital into its system two years ago and renamed it OSF Saint Clare Medical Center. The critical access hospital serves residents of Princeton, Ill. and surrounding communities.
