A familiar face in the local not-for-profit community will soon be leading the Heartland Community Health Clinic in Peoria.

The clinic's Board of Directors announced today that Farrell Davies is taking over as chief executive officer.

She succeeds Joan Krupa who is currently contemplating a run for the 92nd District State Representative Seat currently held by Aaron Schock.

Davies most recently served as Executive Director of Crittenton Centers and the Crisis Nursery in Peoria.

Before that, she worked at the Children's Home of Peoria. Davies' first day at the Heartland Clinic will be next month.
