Quincy Medical Group Birthing Center Approved in Illinois

With this decision, the QMG Birth Center will be the sixth birth center in Illinois

By HFT Staff


The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board (HFSRB) approved Quincy Medical Group’s (QMG) Certificate of Need (CON) applications for the QMG Hospital and QMG Birth Center. 

The approval allows QMG to move forward with construction of the QMG Hospital and QMG Birth Center on the campus of the Quincy Town Center, which is home to the QMG Surgery Center and Cancer Institute. 

QMG’s small-format hospital will include: 25 medical-surgical beds; three labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms; an emergency department with 10 bays; a C-section suite; three operating rooms; and one procedure room. The hospital will also include a post-anesthesia care unit, laboratory, pharmacy and imaging department. Three of the medical-surgical beds will be equipped to serve as negative pressure rooms, or isolation rooms, to aid in future infectious disease outbreaks. 

The QMG Birth Center will have three birthing rooms, a designated space for prenatal visits and antepartum testing, and a conference space for education services. With this decision, the QMG Birth Center will become the first birth center in the Quincy region and the sixth in the state of Illinois.
