MercyRockford Health System, the product of a January merger between Mercy Health and Rockford (Ill.) Health System, plans to transfer most of its acute-care services to a new $400 million “destination campus.”
The five-hospital system's current Rockford facility, known as Rockford Memorial, will continue to offer emergency, inpatient and outpatient services. Most acute-care functions will shift to a new campus to be built off Interstate 90, extending the hospital's Level I trauma services to southern Wisconsin.
The new Rockford-area campus will be home to a women and children's hospital that will include a neonatal intensive-care unit, a pediatric intensive-care unit, a high-risk maternity-care unit, and pediatric inpatient and emergency services.
