Lena, IL – 35 years ago, on April 3, 1989, SSM Health (then Monroe Clinic) opened the doors of a new clinic location in Lena. Today, the SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group team continues to provide exceptional care to patients in Lena and the surrounding communities.

Diane Kempel, a Patient Registration Representative in Lena, has been with the clinic since opening. In reflecting on her time with the clinic she shared, “These past 35 years at our clinic have been a joy. I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful providers and coworkers. It has made me so happy to provide great service to the town of Lena. The staff and I have become a closeknit family, and I continue to cherish the friendships we’ve made.”
The SSM Health Medical Group location in Lena has been an incredible supporter of the Reach Out and Read Program. In 2023, their dedication to the program allowed the Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation, a member of SSM Health, to receive grant funding for additional resources. The prior year, 433 books were given to pediatric patients at the Lena clinic.
Open Mondays through Thursdays, SSM Health’s dedication to the Lena community continues. To schedule an appointment in Lena, visit SSMHealth.com or call 815-369-4541.
