A Revised Mercy Hospital Plan Going Before State Board Friday Morning

The Mercy Crystal Lake Hospital and Medical Center will be before Illinois Health Facilities Planning and Review Board Friday morning beginning at 10:00 a.m. The location is the Crystal Lake City Council Chambers, 100 West Woodstock Street, Crystal Lake.

The presentation by Mercy is a revision of a previous presentation for a hospital to be located on the southeast corner of Route 31 and Three Oaks Road, Crystal Lake. That proposal for a 128 bed facility carried along with a clinic and other related services carried an estimated cost of $356,173. The State Review Board rejected that plan as well as one for Centegra Hospital for a facility in Huntley.

The Mercy plan has been reduced to 70 beds as well as other offerings connected with health care and the cost is reduced to 200,525,891.

Consideration by the State Board has been tentatively scheduled for the November 22, 2011 State Board Meeting. Any person wanting to submit written comments on this project must submit these comments by 9:00 a.m., November 2, 2011.
