OBHG welcomes HSHS St. Elizabeth Hospital in O’Fallon, IL with a ramp start of an OB hospitalist program, targeting a full obstetrics emergency department (OBED) by July 1, 2024.
Hospital leadership partnered with OBHG to increase patient safety and quality, stabilize the labor and delivery department, support local OB/GYNs, and drive volume growth.
HSHS St. Elizabeth Hospital currently sees approximately 900 annual deliveries and 1,300 unscheduled OB triage visits. This program will be our 13th OBHG partnership in Illinois and our first with HSHS.
The team at HSHS St. Elizabeth Hospital includes Dr. Elizabeth Vonderhaar, Dr. Michael Schifano, Dr. Michael Covlin, Dr. Kimberly Portale, Dr. Marc Luckett, Dr. Sherry Jones- Diplomat, Dr Jessica Fivecoat, and Dr. Elisabeth Beyer-Nolen.
