| Thank you to you all who attended the Mercy Hospital Town Hall Meeting with Elected Officials last week! Elected officials from the county, city, state and federal government attended and made a commitment to work to #SaveMercy, collaborate with the community and collaborate to make health equity on the south side a reality.We urge you to attend the next virtual meeting of the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board as they decide if they will approve Trinity Health’s proposal to open an urgent care center at Mercy instead of a full hospital! Trinity Health Corporation and Mercy Care Center is proposing an outpatient facility at Mercy at a cost of $13,142,898 with expected completion date is September 30, 2021. We need a full service hospital, not an urgent care center at Mercy Hospital and a moratorium on hospital closures NOW! |
