The acquisition would help the downtown Chicago teaching hospital enter the city’s affluent northern suburbs, where Northwestern has purchased a 10-care site in 2007 for $9 million and hopes to carry out a strategy of setting up clinics that bring healthcare closer to where people live.

State documents list the “enterprise value” of 67-year-old Lake Forest Hospital as in the range of $216-$242 million.
