MORRISON, Ill. (AP) – Crews are continuing work on a $20.5 million expansion of a community hospital in northwest Illinois during the coronavirus pandemic. Sauk Valley Media reports Morrison Community Hospital plans to add or renovate 80,000 square feet of space, including five emergency room bays and another operating room. Hospital Marketing Director Mick Welding says crews were already wearing protective equipment to do their jobs and there are barriers in place to separate employees and patients, so no changes were needed amid the pandemic. The project is expected to be finished in 2021.
