“OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony’s Health Center and United Methodist Village Retirement Community have a mutual desire to serve the community with top quality healthcare services in close proximity to where residents reside and recreate,” said Ajay Pathak, President of OSF HealthCare. “We share a goal to focus on maintaining residents in their homes, in a stable and healthy state, to foster optimal quality of life.”

Anita Martinez, Executive Director, United Methodist Village and Pathak agree there is mutual benefit to serving shared OSF patients and UMV residents in this setting, a great asset for both organizations, but more importantly for those they serve.
