👋 Meet Kait McGough, DNP, APRN – the newest friendly face to join OSF Medical Group in Kewanee!

A Mission Partner since 2016, Kait has experience in a variety of care settings, most recently serving families at OSF Medical Group in Galesburg. She now brings her compassion, skill and a true passion for whole-person care to Kewanee. A Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) specializing in family medicine, she loves caring for people of all ages – from newborns to older adults – and believes every person deserves to feel heard, valued and supported in their health journey.

💬"I love collaborating with each unique individual and family to develop a personalized plan of care that fits their one-of-a-kind needs. It is my greatest joy to provide excellent care to each and every person I meet!"

She’s especially excited to bring her love for pediatric and lactation care to the Kewanee community as she prepares to become an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). 👩‍🍼👶 Kait is also expanding access to in-office procedures, offering joint and trigger point injections, skin biopsies and excisions, ingrown and full plate toenail removals, infant tongue and lip tie revisions, and more – all close to home. She describes family medicine as “less of a job and more of a calling,” and her warm, family-centered approach reflects the OSF Mission to serve with the greatest care and love.

For Kait, family is everything. "My husband, Stephen, and I have been married for over 11 years and have four wonderful kids – Melody, Lily, Samuel and Mercy. When we’re not at work or school, you’ll find us outside, swimming, gardening, playing board games (Trash Dice is our favorite!), or enjoying ice cream together." 🫶

✨ A Few Fun Facts: Kait loves to travel and has explored places like Mexico, Jamaica, El Salvador, Israel and Turkey—with many more on her list! She's also a published author in the Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners for her 2021 literature review on screen time and its effect on the growing pediatric mind.

🎃✨ Don’t let your Halloween lights come back to haunt the planet! ✨🎃

Strands of string lights are full of plastic and wire that can be recycled. Instead of tossing them out, drop them off in the collection box located in the main entrance lobby. Together, we can keep waste out of the landfill and care for our common home. 🌎💚
