You may wonder why your care team asks you questions at (or before) your appointment that you didn’t expect, like, “Stress is when someone feels tense, nervous, anxious, or can’t sleep at night because their mind is troubled. How stressed are you?”

This is because we care about you, and we know that your overall health is about more than just your heart rate and blood pressure. It’s also about the external factors that influence it.

By getting a better understanding of your life, we can help to address different things that may be impacting your well-being, like your stress levels and mental health.

OSF HealthCare remains deeply committed to ensuring every patient continues to receive the high-quality, compassionate care they deserve.

Like many health care organizations, we’re facing challenges from a nationwide urologist shortage. Our team is actively recruiting new physicians and advanced practice providers to expand capacity and meet community needs.

In an effort to keep you informed about your care, you may have recently received a letter about temporary staffing changes.

If you received a letter, please know:
✅ Some patients will continue their care with OSF HealthCare.
✅ Others may need to transition temporarily to another provider until we’re fully staffed again. We are here to help guide you through that process.
✅ For FAQs, guidance on next steps, and a list of alternate urology providers, visit https://bit.ly/3WJPos5.

If you still have questions about your care after reviewing the information, please send a message through OSF MyChart to your urology care team.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to strengthen our team and continue caring for you.
