SIH shifts strategy as hospital sales loom in southern Illinois
SIH chief Firestone says not for sale is false and emphasizes regional health care needs. The system has closed UMWA Hospital in West Frankfort and is pursuing sale of Franklin and Ferrell hospitals while exploring terms with Community Health Systems. A Certificate of Need blocks At Home Health Care from reopening, and SIH focuses on retooling services at Memorial and Herrin to keep communities served.
