Dear Friends,

I will be writing more about this in the days to come, but I wanted to
inform you as soon as possible about this very important development.

Carle Foundation Hospital and Carle Clinic have proposed to merge in order
to come into compliance with new federal laws and regulations. Under the
proposed merger, Carle Clinic would actually become a part of the non-profit
Carle Foundation, and would operate as a non-profit physician clinic, AND
would honor the financial assistance policies of the non-profit Carle
Foundation Hospital!

This "merger" (really an acquisition of the Clinic by the Foundation), could
be the single best thing to happen in this community to make health care
accessible to the great number of people who have had problems with access
to primary and specialty care - low-income people, people with Medicaid
insurance, and people with outstanding medical debt (including those who
have been "no serviced" by Carle Clinic).

The change in ownership structure must be approved by the IL Health
Facilities Planning Board, through the Certificate of Need (CON) process. As
part of that process, public hearings can be held in order to hear from the
affected communities about whether or not they support the proposed change
and why.

As a community, we have a tremendous opportunity through this CON process to
voice our support for this proposed merger.

WHAT: CON hearing on Carle merger
WHEN: Wednesday, November 4, 2009
TIME: 10 a.m.
WHERE: City of Urbana Building, Council Chambers (400 S... Vine Street,
Urbana, IL 61801)

Below is the official information about the CON hearing, which we hope you
will be able to attend.

This is great news!

Best wishes,
Claudia Lennhoff
CCHCC Executive Director
