Community Partners

Exceptional healthcare is a team effort.

SIH extends clinical privileges to a select group of physicians and practices throughout Southern Illinois, creating a stronger, more connected regional healthcare network. These community physicians bring specialized expertise to our hospitals, which means patients gain access to a broader range of care without leaving the region they call home. The result is fewer gaps, smoother transitions and more options for the people and families we serve.

This model reflects something we've long believed. The best care happens when skilled physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) work together across organizational lines, with the patient at the center. Our community partners are credentialed members of our medical staff, held to the same standards as our employed physicians and APPs. When you receive care at an SIH facility, you're drawing on a medical community that extends well beyond our walls.
