City of East Saint Louis

East St. Louis is a city in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States, directly across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri in the Metro-East region of Southern Illinois. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 27,006, less than one-third of its peak of 82,366 in 1950. Like many larger industrial cities, it has been severely affected by loss of jobs in the restructuring of the railroad industry and de-industrialization of the Rust Belt in the second half of the 20th century. In 1950 East St. Louis was the 4th largest city in Illinois.

One of the highlights of the city's waterfront is the Gateway Geyser, the tallest fountain in the United States. Designed to complement the Gateway Arch across the river in St. Louis, it shoots water to a height of 630 feet (190 m), the same height as the Arch.

Native Americans had long inhabited both sides of the Mississippi River. The Mississippian culture rulers organized thousands of workers to construct villages and complex earthwork mounds at what later became St. Louis and East St. Louis, as well as the urban complex of Cahokia to the north of East St. Louis within present-day Collinsville, Illinois. Before the Civil War, settlers reported up to 50 mounds in the area that became East St. Louis, but most were lost to 19th-century development and later roadbuilding.

East St. Louis lies within the American Bottom area of the present day Metro-East area of St. Louis, Missouri. This name was given after the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and European Americans began to settle in the area. The village was first named "Illinoistown."

East St. Louis was founded in 1797 by Captain James Piggott, a Revolutionary War veteran. In that year Piggott began operating a ferry service across the Mississippi River, connecting Illinoistown with St. Louis. When Piggott died in 1799, his widow sold the ferry business, moved to St. Louis County and remarried. Famed actress Virginia Mayo (Virginia Clara Jones) was a great, great granddaughter of Captain Piggott.[1]

Our Services:

St. Louis Urgent Cares offers speedy, cost-efficient medical treatment to the people of East St. Louis and surrounding cities. Regardless of whether or not the patient is insured, the medical team at St. Louis Urgent Cares is dedicated to providing those in need of treatment with the highest level of medical care. The facility is equivalent to that of a lower acuity emergency department. Simply stated, this means that St. Louis Urgent Cares is prepared to treat patients who are suffering from a wide range of non-life threatening illnesses and injuries.

We are able to provide patients with routine checkups, drug and alcohol testing, school physicals and treating various types of injuries. Our full service acute care facility allows us to send patients home with the most common types of medications, and patients benefit from our diagnostic equipment and procedures including digital X-ray, nebulizer treatments, IV medications, laceration repair, abscess drainage, fracture reduction and ultrasound.

Appointments can be made (either online or by phone) but we welcome walk-ins as well. Our offices are open daily, with different hours for each facility (see the home page), and our goal is to see our patients within 45 minutes of when they walk in the door. We are also closely affiliated with a proactive Internal Medicine practice, known as Downtown Medical Internal Medicine, so if you don't have a primary care provider, we will help you get one.

At St. Louis Urgent Cares, we hand-pick all our staff, both providers and supporting staff, so you can rest assured that you are in good hands.

We have several locations around the St. Louis metro area. We love the beautiful, history filled city of East St. Louis and we want to provide its residents with quality treatment. If you are in need of medical treatment, contact our office today to schedule an appointment. Either call us at 1-855-YOU-URGENT, or preregister online, or just walk right in to one of our facilities. If you have any problems at all, just contact our CEO, Dr. Sonny Saggar at sonny@stlurgentcares.com.
