New $2.8 Million Dialysis Center planned

</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[The owners of the Du Quoin kidney dialysis center on West Main Street have notified the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board of plans to construct a new $2,857,620 dialysis center just east of the Fairview Nursing Center at 680 East Jackson Street in front of the old Turco Manufacturing Co. plant--now Trogolo Enterprises.

The filing asks for a hearing under the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act no later than October 11, 2011. Any person wanting to submit written comments on this project must do so by December 21, 2011. You can comment to Mike Constantino, supervisor, project review section, Illinois Health Facilities and Services Board, 525 West Jefferson St., Springfield, Illinois 62761 or call (217) 782-3516.

The all-new 11-station facility would replace a 10-station dialysis center in what most know as the old Du Quoin National Bank building across from Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts.
