The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board voted 4-2 to reject the proposal, citing concerns about duplication of services.
Quincy Medical Group was seeking approval to build a 25-bed, physician-led hospital next to the medical group’s cancer institute and surgery center in Quincy. The proposal called for building a 10-bay emergency department, three operating rooms and one procedure room.
Despite the rejection, Quincy Medical Group has the option to present the project to the board again with new details and information.
“We appreciated the opportunity to present our proposed project today,” Quincy Medical Center said in a prepared statement. “Two members of the CON Board called the QMG Hospital project a ‘breath of fresh air’ and we couldn’t agree more. Limited healthcare options have resulted in Quincy-area residents paying disproportionately high rates for healthcare. We remain steadfast in our commitment to this project and our commitment to drive down healthcare costs in our community and make the very best in patient care accessible to all. We respect the HFSRB’s feedback on our project and look forward to providing additional information.”
