Another Reason For Opposing Proposed Hospitals In McHenry County

Another area hospital opposing the two proposals turned down today by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for McHenry County Hospitals is also hopeful that the IHFSRB will defer any decision on the proposals until the state establishes a Center for Comprehensive Health Planning, which was created by recent legislation.

Sherman Health, which opened a replacement hospital in 2009 to serve northern Kane and southern McHenry counties is another of the several health systems opposing the planned McHenry County facilities.

Representatives of Sherman, like their counterparts of Good Shepherd, point out that existing regional medical centers are providing comprehensive care for residents of northern Kane and southeastern McHenry County.
