Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation changes name to SIHF Healthcare
SAUGET – This month, Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation officially changed its name to SIHF Healthcare to better reflect its expanded role in the industry.
Its new tagline is “Your health. Our mission.”
The organization is one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Center networks in the country, providing comprehensive care to patients at more than 30 locations located in 11 counties in the central and southern Illinois area. SIHF Healthcare provides family medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatrics, specialty care, behavioral health and dental care, as well as other related health services.
According to Larry McCulley, president and CEO of SIHF Healthcare, “The name Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation has served the organization well since its inception in 1985; however, the expansion of our service area, service offerings, and network of affiliates prompted the organization to establish a new name to reflect our expanded role and comprehensive healthcare services.”
The new brand was implemented June 1.
The organization serves clients regardless of their ability to pay.
“SIHF, the acronym that many used when referring to our organization, remains as part of the new name as a symbol of our organization’s history in serving our patients and the many partnerships we have formed throughout the healthcare community,” McCulley said.
A new website is also now live for patients to access for additional information about the services available through SIHF Healthcare. Visit www.sihf.org.
