CGH Ready Care Clinic (Sterling)

CGH Ready Care Clinic (Sterling) is a podiatrist in Rock Falls, IL, part of the CGH Medical Center network serving the Sauk Valley in Northern Illinois. The Sterling clinic operates as a walk-in ready care location handling same-day needs such as sore throats, flu, rashes, and ear aches, while the broader Rock Falls and Sterling podiatry department is anchored by Dr. Marian Kavanaugh, DPM, AACFAS, a fellowship-trained specialist in complex foot and ankle surgery. Patients can request appointments through MyChart or simply walk in at the Sterling or Dixon ready care locations, with an online "On My Way" option to let the clinic know they are en route.

CGH Medical Center is a progressive acute care facility that has operated in the Sauk Valley for over 20 years under continuous Joint Commission accreditation, earning reaccreditation in August 2024 with the Gold Seal of Approval for its hospital, clinics, and home nursing program.

Beyond clinical services, CGH contributes to local schools and nonprofit organizations through sponsorships and donations within a five-county service area. The Ready Care Clinic shares in these standards, sitting inside a system whose accreditation review covers provision of care, infection prevention, emergency management, medication management, and patient rights.
