Hospital officials plan to move about 135 patients from the Rockford-based Mercyhealth-Rockton campus to the new facility, Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center-Riverside, based on the technology the new facility will offer. All NICU patients will be transferred to the Riverside campus.
The Riverside campus facility is scheduled to open Jan. 5, 2019.
