Facility Overview

Parking Deck C is a dedicated multi-level parking garage located at 401 NE Greenleaf Street in Peoria, Illinois. Situated directly on the expansive OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center and Children\'s Hospital of Illinois medical campus, this structured garage serves patients, visiting family members, healthcare professionals, and administrative visitors. The multi-story deck provides sheltered parking across multiple levels, shielding vehicles and pedestrians from harsh winter snow, summer heat, and rain. The deck features clearly demarcated circulation lanes, low-grade entrance ramps, and designated bays suitable for standard passenger sedans, minivans, crossovers, and standard SUVs. Drivers operating lifted trucks, high-profile commercial vans, or vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes should observe the posted vehicle height clearance signage (typically 7 feet) at the Greenleaf Street portals before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Parking Deck C primarily serves hospital patients and medical center visitors, traffic can become moderately congested during morning clinic arrivals (between 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM) and mid-afternoon shift changes. Drivers should take note of their parking level, bay section letter, and the nearest elevator bank when departing their vehicle. If you or a family member has limited mobility, take advantage of the designated patient drop-off circles at main clinic entrances before parking in Deck C, or park near the central elevator bays for shortest walking distance to interior skywalks and concourses.
