St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville, Ill., has filed a Certificate of Need application with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board that details its plans for a $253.5 million replacement hospital in O'Fallon, Ill., according to a St. Louis Business Journal report.
The 351,130-square-foot replacement hospital would include 144 beds, decreasing the number of medical surgical beds from 202 to 100, intensive care unit beds from 24 to eight, obstetrics beds from 30 to 12 and rehabilitation beds from 33 to 16. Pediatric services would also be discontinued.
If approved, the project is slated to be complete by December 2017, according to the report.
