Frankfort, IL, approves Silver Cross Hospital urgent-care site

Eighteen months after unveiling plans to build a $400 million replacement hospital in New Lenox, Silver Cross Hospital has gotten the green light to open a satellite center in nearby Frankfort, IL. The proposed urgent-care center will house an imaging facility, doctors' offices and a sleep-study center with three to six beds, officials said. The Frankfort center's approval comes several months after construction began on another Silver Cross satellite facility—a 30,000-square-foot medical professional building and health center in Homer Glen, IL.
