Memorial Hospital seeks Phase 2 wing with added beds
Memorial Hospital of Carbondale opened a 6.2 million addition last week and seeks state approval on April 1 for a 3.3 million three story wing adding 19 beds. Administrator George Maroney cites funding squeezes from Medicare and Medicaid cuts, with 620000 annual reductions already causing layoffs and higher room rates. The plan aims to retain medical specialists and prevent loss of care in Southern Illinois as hospitals consolidate services amid uncertainty.
