  Nursing Home

Please save the date for a special event organized by Champaign County
Health Care Consumers:  *The Future of the Champaign County Nursing Home
– Community Meeting*. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 23, 2017
at 7 p.m. at the Champaign Public Library.
 
*_Brief Background_*
The Champaign County Nursing Home (CCNH) has been facing financial
struggles for a number of different reasons. As a result, the Champaign
County Board placed two referenda regarding the CCNH on the ballot this
past April 4. One question asked about a property tax levy to help
support the CCNH. A majority of voters voted against raising the
property tax levy for the CCNH. The other question asked about “sale or
disposal” of the CCNH. A majority of voters voted yes to this question.
And now the Champaign County Board is struggling with the future of the
CCNH.
 
*_Community Meeting – The Future of the Champaign County Nursing Home_*
/Must/ the Champaign County Nursing Home be sold?  Isn’t
there /something/ that can be done to save the Champaign County Nursing
Home and keep it as a publicly owned and operated nursing home? Is
anyone /doing/ anything to try to save the CCNH? What is
so/special/ about the Champaign County Nursing Home?
 
These are just a few of the questions that will be addressed at the
upcoming community meeting.

Nursing Home

              200 W. Green Street, Champaign

*_Champaign County Health Care Consumers (CCHCC) Position on the CCNH_*
CCHCC believes that we, as a community, should work to save the
Champaign County Nursing Home. Selling this important public health care
asset to a for-profit corporation would be a tremendous loss to our
community, and there are many reasons to fear a decline in quality of care. 

 

We hope to see you at this important community meeting!
