"Unfortunately, we have not achieved the vision and goals that were established when we made the decision to bring Morris Hospital services to Yorkville," Tom Dohm, President and CEO of Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers, said.
Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers—a Morris, Illinois-based healthcare provider with 28 locations and over $780 million in total patient revenue—has announced plans to close its Yorkville Campus effective December 3, 2022.
The closure is the result of the organization’s inability to successfully bring its healthcare mission to the Yorkville community and low patient volume.
"Unfortunately, we have not achieved the vision and goals that were established when we made the decision to bring Morris Hospital services to Yorkville," Tom Dohm, President and CEO of Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers, said in a statement announcing the closure. "While closing a healthcare facility is never an easy decision, after more than eight years, it is no longer feasible to sustain our Yorkville offering."
Morris Hospital opened its Yorkville Campus in 2014 in an 11,888-square-foot building, where it offered diagnostic imaging, lab, physical therapy, and physician specialists. Currently, the facility is offering occupational medicine, primary care, and walk-in care. The 10 staff members employed at the Yorkville Campus have been offered the opportunity to relocate to other Morris Hospital locations.
Between now and the time the facility closes, Dohm says the focus will be on assisting patients and occupational medicine clients in transitioning their care to other Morris Hospital locations. For occupational medicine and convenient care services, patients will be directed to Morris Hospital’s Diagnostic & Rehabilitative Center in Morris, Ridge Road Campus in Channahon, and Diamond-Coal City Campus. Primary care patients will be receiving a letter that provides options for continuing their care with Morris Hospital.
