Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) is proud to announce a new partnership with Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, Illinois. Through this collaboration, OBHG will implement a part-time OB/GYN hospitalist program designed to enhance coverage, support physicians, and ensure continued access to high-quality women’s healthcare services throughout the community.
The program will operate under an OB Triage part-time model, providing 20 hospitalist shifts per month alongside clinic coverage. This flexible approach addresses immediate staffing needs while supporting Riverside’s long-term commitment to delivering exceptional care and improving quality outcomes for patients.
By implementing the OBHG model, Riverside aims to maintain reliable access to OB/GYN services for women in the region while helping preserve and support its existing physician team.
As a 300-bed, Magnet-recognized hospital and Level II Trauma Center, Riverside Medical Center provides a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services to the communities it serves. The organization’s commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centered care makes it a strong partner in advancing maternal healthcare across the region.
This partnership marks OBHG’s 14th program launch of 2026, reflecting the growing demand for innovative OB hospitalist solutions that improve patient access, support healthcare providers, and strengthen hospital operations.
OBHG is honored to work alongside the dedicated team at Riverside Medical Center to positively impact the lives of clinicians, women, and babies throughout Kankakee and the surrounding communities.
