Illinois board approves medical group’s $61M hospital in reversal
The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board approved Quincy (Ill.) Medical Group’s proposal to build a $61 million hospital on April 26. The decision reversed a May 2021 ruling that denied the project. In the May decision, the state review board said the project would create an unnecessary duplication of services. The medical group appealed the decision. The review board’s recent decision allows Quincy Medical Group to build a small-format hospital with 25 patient beds, a 10-bay emergency department, three operating rooms and one procedure room.
