Construction continues to move right along for Eagle View Community Health System’s Monmouth Clinic that will open in the former Fusion Theater building, 230 South Main Street, in February of 2023. Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator Emily Higgins says the new clinic will be a full-service health center offering affordable services to all:
“Any type of acute care; cough, sore throat, fever, vomiting, anything like that, anything you would think would be urgent care you can come see us for that. More often than not we will get you in same day. Of course, chronic care management, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, anything that you are dealing with on a constant basis that there really is not cure for, but more of a treatment for long term, come see us for that. Women’s health, we do STD testing, reproductive health, annual exams, cancer screenings, dental, then of course mental health and substance use as well.”
The Eagle View Community Health System Monmouth Clinic was made possible by HRSA Capitol Grant Funds and the Illinois Children’s Health Foundation.

Bush Construction has been working on the remodel of the 230 S.
Main St. building since August 2022 and is currently on schedule for completion in early
February of 2023. Eagle View Community Health System, Inc., purchased the building
back in December 2021 with the goal to bring a full-service community health center to
the heart of Monmouth, IL.
Shannon Courson, Interim Chief Executive Officer, states “Transportation to our clinics
has always been a barrier for some of our patients. We are excited to make our services
easily accessible for those patients and future patients. Warren County has been in our
service area from day one, it was time to make the move and help meet the needs of the
community. Bush Construction has been a pleasure to work with in the past, and we
look forward to the continued relationship.”
This is not the first time Eagle View has worked with Bush Construction, LLC.,. Bush was
also selected for the remodel of what is now the Teen Center located at 213 S. Main St.,
Monmouth, IL.
Brad Ray, Vice President of Eagle View’s Board of directors, commented “The
transformation of a former business office to the Recharge Teen Center by Bush
Construction was above and beyond our expectations. We are excited to see to the
transformation of a former live performance theater into much needed full-service health
center. Based on our prior experience with Bush Construction, we have full confidence
the new clinic will be a great addition to downtown Monmouth and the surrounding
community.”
“Bush is honored to have the opportunity to strengthen our existing relationship and
work alongside the team at Eagle View Community Health System on this project,” said
BJ Kelly, Superintendent at Bush Construction. “As a resident in this community, I am
excited to see quality healthcare expanded to more people in our surrounding area.”
Eagle View understands the desperate need for accessible and affordable medical,
dental, and behavioral health services in and around the community of Monmouth and is
excited for the opportunity to provide these services as early as February 2023.
Funding for this project was generously provided by the HRSA Capitol Grant and The
Illinois Children’s Health Foundation.
