Chicago-area hospital plans major expansion

Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove plans an expansion to add more private rooms


Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Ill., is planning a $78 million expansion that would allow all patients in the facility to have their own rooms, according to an article on the Chicago Tribune website.
