A state board rejected a plan Tuesday to close a Chicago hospital after pleas from the community to keep the doors open.
Trinity Health wants to close Mercy Hospital in Chicago s Bronzeville neighborhood, saying the site is losing money as well as patients. It has proposed to open an outpatient clinic about two miles away.
“Failure to acknowledge the realities of today will mean that the residents of the South Side of Chicago will continue to suffer gross health care inequities,” said John Capasso, a Trinity Health executive vice president.
