On Tuesday, November 17, 2015, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning and Review Board unanimously approved the three Certificate of Need applications from MercyRockford Health System to create "one hospital on two campuses." MercyRockford Health System employees want to say "thank you" to the community for its input and support. We are proud and grateful for the hundreds of individuals and organizations who wrote letters of support, spoke in favor of our project, and the 7,100 individuals who signed our petition.
