Illinois panel backs Advocate purchase of Libertyville hospital
Chicago Tribune, August 13, 2008
The Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board has approved Advocate Health Care's purchase of Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Advocate announced in May it intended to purchase Condell for $180 million, expanding Advocate's reach deeper into Lake County. Advocate still needs to get formal approval for the purchase from the Illinois Finance Authority and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.
