Due to the country's current economic situation, the Hospital Board recently reviewed alternate timelines and schedules to begin construction of the replacement hospital tower known as the West Pavilion. Little Company of Mary Hospital will present our case for the Campus Transformation Project to the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board in the Spring of 2009. When the plan is approved, we will assess the best time to begin construction. We are postponing the ground breaking on the West Pavilion until market conditions are more favorable to ensure a successful and timely completion of the project. We will continue with our plans for the parking expansion of the West Lot that is scheduled for completion early this summer, adding more than 200 new spaces.
Little Company of Mary relies on the generous support and commitment of our community and its leaders. Our mission to improve the health care for families remains a privilege. We have served this community with exceptional health care for nearly 80 years and look forward to our future with you.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Sister Kathleen McIntyre, LCM, Chairperson of the Board & Dennis Reilly, President and CEO
