ROCKFORD, IL—The $505 million Mercyhealth project, the largest in Rockford’s history, reached a milestone last week. The highest steel beam was signed by employees, physicians, administrators and community leaders and placed on the tallest point of the structure in this city about 90 miles northwest of Chicago.  

“Today marks a very special moment, as we move one step closer to opening our Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Medical Center Campus,” said Javon R.
