Starting with the hospital's billing department moving locations, CEO Paul Skowron says they are getting the new 70 Clinton Plaza prepared for staff to move in at the first of the year.

The Illinois Department of Public Health recently approved the hospital's remodel of their pharmacy. According to Skowron, bid quotes have gone out the hospital held a special meeting to approve the remodel contracts.

According to Skowron, the emergency room remodel should have drawings done in January and possibly ready to show the Board in February.

The hospital board does not meet in December.
