WHEREAS, The Village of Plainfield believes that the residents of the Village and the
surrounding area are harmed and adversely affected by the Illinois Health Facilities
Planning Board's denial of the application for permit to construct Edward Plainfield
Hospital.
WHEREAS, The Village of Plainfield continues to strongly support the need for Edward
Plainfield Hospital. Edward Plainfield Haspital is the best means to ensure that health
care services are appropriately located to meet the needs of the residents of Plainfield and
the surrounding area. "The denial of the Edward Plainfield Hospital project means that the
residents of Plainfield and the surrounding area will be forced to travel excessive
distances to receive basic health care services.
WHEREAS, The Village of Plainfield also believes that the proposal by Pravena Saint
Joseph Medical Center to spend over $130 million to renovate its facilities is not the most
appropriate use of health care dollars. This large expenditure will result in no additional
capacity and will not relieve the burden on Plainfield residents to travel unnecessary
distances to obtain needed health care services. The Village will express its opposition to
this project at public hearings and through other mechanisms as it deems appropriate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that because of its continued support for
the Edward Plainfield Hospital project, the Village of Plainfield will file a petition to
intervene in the administrative hearing requested by Edward Hospital to seek additional
review of the project.
