Proposal for $2.4M Illinois Surgery Center Fails to Pass Due to Board Absenteeism

A proposal for a new Palos Hills, Ill.-based surgery center failed to garner enough votes to pass at a meeting of the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board on Jan. 10, according to a Chicago Business report.

Four members of the nine-member panel voted in favor of a $2.4 million outpatient surgery center proposed for southwest suburban Palos Hills by Gary Kronen, MD, and Anton Fakhouri, MD. However, two members were absent, and five votes from the panel are needed for passage.

The board has been plagued by absenteeism in the past, according to the report.
