| Advocate Trinity Hospital in Calumet Heights, Mercy Hospital & Medical Center in Bronzeville, South Shore Hospital in South Chicago and St. Bernard Hospital in Englewood had planned to join forces as part of a $1.1 billion project that included building at least one new hospital and up to half a dozen community health centers. It’s possible one or more of the existing hospitals would have closed as part of that plan. The hospitals had asked lawmakers for $110 million for fiscal year 2021, and a total of $520 million over the next five years, to offset expected losses as they created the system and built a hospital. |
