The board approved the $79.5 million hospital in a 6-1 vote, and unanimously agreed on the $18.8 million clinic, according to Northwest Herald. This is Mercyhealth’s third attempt to build a small hospital in Crystal Lake since 2003, according to the report.
The small hospital will house 24/7 emergency services on a new campus in Crystal Lake. It will include 11 medical-surgical beds and two intensive-care beds, an emergency room, two operating rooms, full-service radiology imaging, laboratory services and a pharmacy, the report states.
Mercyhealth will also build a clinic on the campus, condensing five physician practices in the Crystal Lake area. The clinic will house 42 exam rooms, Northwest Herald reports.
