Insight, which took over ownership from Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health on June 1, said it will invest the money to help increase services and meet community needs. 

Insight also said it plans to reinstate Mercy’s status as a teaching hospital and will operate it as a full-service hospital through at least 2029.

Trinity Health announced plans to shutter Mercy in July 2020 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February after an Illinois review board rejected its plan to close. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
