Memorial Hospital and McDonough District Hospital Announce Collaboration

Memorial Hospital and McDonough District Hospital (MDH) are pleased to announce a new collaborative partnership that will expand access to comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care for patients throughout west-central Illinois.

Beginning September 28th, 2026, Christopher M. Jones, MD, will provide obstetric and gynecologic care at three clinic locations, allowing patients greater access to care while strengthening services across the region.

Dr. Jones will continue seeing patients at: Memorial Medical Clinic Obstetrics & Gynecology, 630 Locust Street, Carthage. Memorial Medical Clinic Colchester, 110 East Market Street, Colchester

In addition, he will begin seeing patients at: McDonough District Hospital OB/GYN Clinic, 525 East Grant Street, 3rd Floor, Macomb.

As part of this collaboration, obstetric patients receiving prenatal care from Dr. Jones will deliver their babies at McDonough District Hospital's newly enhanced Obstetrics Department. This allows expectant parents to continue receiving care from the provider they know and trust while benefiting from MDH’s labor and delivery resources and experienced obstetric care team.

Gynecologic surgical procedures will be performed at both Memorial Hospital and McDonough District Hospital, depending on the patient's needs and preferences. Whenever appropriate, every effort will be made to provide care at the patient's preferred facility.
