Today is the day the situation regarding new hospitals in the McHenry County should be resolved. The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board is meeting in Springfield to consider the applications of Centegra Health System’s proposal for a hospital in Huntley and Mercy Alliance proposal for a Mercy Hospital in Crystal Lake.
Public hearings were held on both proposals with proponents and opponents providing their input. The rest is up to the Review Board.
Centegra proposes a 128-bed acute care facility located at the eastside of Haligus Road, between Algonquin Road and Reed Road for an estimated cost of $233,160,352.
Mercy Crystal Lake Hospital and Medical Center, Inc. proposes a 128 bed acute care hospital and multi-specialty physician clinic on the southeast corner of Route 31 and Three Oaks Road for an estimated cost of $199,344,433.
Public hearings were held on both of the proposals, with proponents and opponents providing their input.
The final decision is up to the board consisting of nine voting members and four ex-officio non-voting members.
