Centegra Hospital Plans Get Huntley Plan Commission Approval

If approved by the Village of Huntley, the new hospital would open sometime in 2016.

Plans from Centegra Health System to build a hospital at the northeast 
corner of Algonquin and Haligus roads in Huntley received preliminary approval from the plan commission Monday.

The next step will be for Centegra to present its plans to the committee-of-the-whole, followed by the village board.

"We are thrilled to have received such positive feedback from the village representatives and from the people who live in the hospital’s neighborhood from the start of this process," said Susan Milford, senior vice president of strategy and development for Centegra, in a press release.

"Centegra Health System has worked closely with the Village of Huntley to develop a hospital that will address the community’s healthcare needs and at the same time function within its neighborhood location."

Centegra Hospital-Huntley will offer advanced medical care ranging from preventive care to advanced surgical procedures. Some of the hospital’s highlights include:

  • 128 private rooms, which provide a calm environment for patients and families.
  • A full-service Level II emergency department that includes an enclosed ambulance garage for patient privacy and a separate entrance for walk-in patients.
  • A helipad to promote the rapid transfer of severely ill or injured patients.
  • A medical office building that will provide more office space to physicians who will move to the community.
  • Hospital units that have been carefully designed by the healthcare team including physicians, nurses and other staff members to ensure safety, privacy and efficiency.
  • State-of-the-art surgical suites and diagnostic equipment.
  • A 20-bed obstetrics unit and Level II Nursery for babies who need special care.
  • A new dining service that will include both indoor and outdoor seating.
  • Close parking and a park-like feeling throughout the campus.

If approved, the project is expected to create 800 construction jobs and add approximately 1,000 new jobs once the hospital is open sometime in 2016.
