It was announced Thursday by OSF HealthCare that before the end of the year, they'll expand by 7,000 square feet their Emergency Department -- largely by rebuilding some of the space already within the hospital. The $5 million project is expected to take eighteen months.
Will Stevenson talked about that with Lisa DeKezel -- who also addressed some questions and criticism levelled at the hospital through social media -- on Galesburg's Morning News.
