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.
A three-floor bed tower would be built above the current critical care unit that would eliminate the possibility of patients having to share accommodations. A campus with all private rooms is "the standard of care our community expects," hospital officials said.
Good Samaritan is one of the largest hospitals in the Advocate Health Care system with 340 beds.
