Illinois hospital reopens some services after flooding

Eldorado, Ill.-based Ferrell Hospital is resuming some outpatient services after flooding forced the facility to shut down.

The hospital closed and stopped accepting patients, including in the emergency department, after significant flooding May 8.

"We are working tirelessly to restore our facilities and ensure they meet the highest standards of safety and care," Ferrell Hospital CEO Tony Keene said in a June 3 news release. "The dedication of our staff and the support from our partners have been instrumental in this process. Our priority remains the well-being of our patients and the community we serve."

The hospital reopened outpatient lab draws, outpatient cardiology services and some oncology services, but remains closed for emergency services.
