HUNTLEY – Centegra Health System officials are optimistically awaiting their chance to try again to convince a state panel that southern McHenry County meets the need for a new hospital in Huntley.

The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Bolingbrook to reconsider Centegra’s $233 million project.

“We’re looking forward to the opportunity to share with them why this project is needed in our community and why it meets their guidelines,” said Susan Milford, vice president of Centegra Health System.
