Here's how you can support Advocate Tommorrow!

Today, I spoke to officials at Advocate Health Care to find out how I can get more of you to be able to comment at the hearing tomorrow. They stated that you do not need to speak at the public hearing tomorrow in order to submit a statement of support. Many of you have articulated to me that although you support Advocate’s proposal, you cannot attend the hearing tomorrow.

I have attached a letter of support has attached a generic letter of support that our members can sign and fax back to the village hall.

The Village Hall fax is 847-546-5405

I will take your letters of support with me tomorrow and see that they are recorded. So you need to get them to us by noon so we can get them over there.

Or copy and paste it into a letter.

RE: Advocate-Lake County Hospital

Public Hearing Testimony

Project No. 07-053

To Whom It May Concern:

I support Advocate Health Care’s initiative to construct a hospital in Round Lake, Illinois.

The construction of a hospital in Round Lake would be a huge economic boon for my community, create thousands of jobs, and most importantly, improve the quality of life for residents and workers in the area.

Western Lake County is in dire need of more accessible hospital-based medical facilities and Advocate Health Care’s proposal will bring these much needed facilities to the residents. The Round Lake Area has the highest population concentration in western Lake County with 60,000+ residents. The population alone makes Round Lake the most logical geographic area to build a hospital.

I respectfully urge the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board to approve Advocate Health Care’s proposal to build a hospital in northwest Lake County.

Best regards,
