Seven of the Illinois board’s eight members voted in favor of the hospital that will be built on the campus of the Quincy Town Center, which features a cancer institute and an ASC.
Quincy’s microhospital will include 25 med-surg beds; 3 labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum or labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms; an emergency department with 10 bays; a C-section suite; three operating rooms; and one procedure room.
“We are grateful for the court’s decision; it allows Quincy Medical Group to move forward to create real change in health and care in the tri-states,” Quincy Medical Group CEO Carol Brockmiller said in a Nov. 23 news release. “Our physicians and family of employees have remained steadfastly committed to the QMG Hospital and all that it can bring to our local patients, including choice and affordability.”
