A hearing on its appeal to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for a Huntley hospital set next week.

 

Centegra Health System is taking an appeal to a state board’s rejection of its proposed Huntley hospital to a McHenry County courtroom, the Northwest Herald reports.

Centegra filed a motion in McHenry County Court asking a judge rule if its appeal to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board is valid, according to the story. Hospital officials want a decision on the appeal.
