Fifteen Cook County hospitals will split $47 million in state grants as part of a capital construction program, Gov. Pat Quinn’s office said Thursday.
The funding, part of Quinn’s “Illinois Jobs Now” program, is largely targeted for the region’s safety-net hospitals, which serve a higher percentage of uninsured patients or those covered by Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for the poor.
Since the launch of the program, the state has distributed about $150 million to private hospitals.
The grants include:
– Holy Cross Hospital, Chicago, $3.5 million for equipment upgrades.
Ingalls Memorial Hospital, Harvey, $2.3 million for new equipment and HVAC upgrades.
– Jackson Park Hospital, Chicago, $3.5 million to renovate Women’s Health Services.
– LaRabida Children’s Hospital, Chicago, $2.3 million to construct a new building and renovate existing space.
– Loretto Hospital, Chicago, $3.5 million to renovate clinical space and upgrade equipment.
