PEORIA, Ill. – There will be a new person in charge of OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in less than two weeks.
OSF HealthCare says as current leader Bob Anderson is now CEO for the central region of OSF, Mike Wells will become president of Saint Francis, effective February 19.
Wells has been with OSF and in the Peoria area for awhile now, starting in 2005. He’s most recently been president of OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois.
“The health care landscape has changed over the course of the past three years during the pandemic, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to and focus on providing the highest quality care to those we have been called to serve,” said Wells, in a news release. “I look forward to helping the OSF Ministry navigate the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Wells — an Illinois State University grad — is expected to work with Anderson to find the next president of OSF Children’s Hospital.
