The facility expansion was completed in 2022 and added 20,000 square feet of expansion and modernized the facilities clinical and nonclinical areas. 

Two capital grants, both $150,000, have also been awarded to SIH to support additional expansion for the cancer institute’s cafe and kitchen renovations. 

Mr. Pritzker’s $45 billion Rebuild Illinois capital program supported the three grants. 

A nonprofit health system, SIH has four hospitals, a comprehensive cancer center, over 30 outpatient and specialty practices, and a level 2 trauma center. SIH has 4,000 employees.
