Several weeks ago, a couple of area hospitals stared down Select Medical of Pennsylvania’s plan to put a long-term acute-care hospital on the last unsold parcel of Southtown. At that time, they said they were looking to locate a similar establishment in Renaissance Park. Then, several days ago, they shocked Peoria by considering the possibility of locating on the same parcel in Southtown instead of Ren Park.
Tonight, they withdrew their proposed option agreement on the Southtown property. Why? Who knows? Hopefully, the Journal Star will have more details tomorrow.
Something much bigger is comming from the Peoria hospital scene.
That’s a provocative comment, Raoul! Don’t leave me hangin’ — what is it? E-mail me.
Well, OSF is building a new children’s hospital (an actual building, they currently just mix the children’s hospital in with the rest of the facility). But that has been the worst kept secret — if a secret at all — for years.
