The ceremony marked the start of construction on a new facility at the intersection of Route 150 and Maher Road in Brimfield. The new building will replace the current clinic located at 111 E. Knoxville St. and is designed to expand access to primary care services in the growing community.

The new medical office building reflects OSF HealthCare’s continued commitment to meeting patients closer to home and investing in the long-term health of the communities it serves.

“This groundbreaking represents more than a new building. It represents continued investment in the people and families of Brimfield,” said Robert Bevill, MD, OSF Medical Group - Primary Care in Brimfield. “We are committed to providing convenient, high-quality care and strengthening access to primary care services for our community.”

Construction is expected to continue throughout 2026. 

Meadowview Behavioral Hospital will provide comprehensive inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. The hospital will serve patients in need of treatment for depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders and other behavioral health conditions.

“This is a vital addition to our region that reflects our shared commitment to meeting people where they are with compassionate, high-quality care,” said Michelle Conger, President, OSF HealthCare. “Mental and behavioral health are critical components of a person’s well-being, and this new hospital will help us address one of the most urgent health needs in our community.”

The hospital is the result of a joint venture between OSF HealthCare and US HealthVest, a national leader in behavioral hospitals. The two organizations are working together to bring innovative and accessible care solutions to communities across the Midwest.

“We are proud to partner with OSF HealthCare to bring Meadowview Behavioral Hospital to life,” said Dr. Richard Kresch, President and CEO of US HealthVest. “This hospital will fill a significant gap in the region’s health care services and provide high-quality, evidence-based treatment for those struggling with mental health issues.”

Construction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026. Meadowview Behavioral Hospital will bring new clinical jobs to the area and provide a much-needed resource for individuals and families seeking behavioral health support.
