Description
OSF HealthCare Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Evergreen Park, Illinois intends to discontinue the Acute Mental Illness (AMI) licensed bed “category of service” for its twenty-four (24) bed inpatient AMI unit after approval to do so is issued by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board (IHFSRB).
OSF Little Company of Mary will continue to provide a robust Behavioral Health Services Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) upon the AMI discontinuation. OSF intends to submit the required Certificate of Exemption application to the IHFSRB in August and a copy of it can be found, after the application is deemed complete, on the IHFSRB website at https://www2.illinois.gov/sites/hfsrb/Projects/Pages/CompApps.aspx.
Anticipated discontinuation of the service is expected to occur after approval by the Health Facilities Planning Board, which would be no later than November 5, 2020.
