Hospitals talking big merger in suburbs; Central DuPage, Delnor combo will create No. 5 in market.
October 07, 2010**Update to this post, Oct. 6th-Kane County Chronicle Article,merger officially announced.** Two large suburban hospitals are discussing a merger that would be the largest hospital combination in three years and could trigger more deals in Chicago's fragmented health care market. Central DuPage Hospital and Delnor Community Hospital are in talks regarding a merger or a broad affiliation agreement that would combine some operations and potentially some clinical programs, Crain's has learned. Other hospital systems likely are courting Delnor, too. Adding Geneva-based Delnor, with its solid balance sheet and plum location in the prosperous Fox Valley, would make Central DuPage a juggernaut in the western suburbs, where it's already the largest among several strong hospitals competing for an affluent patient base. Delnor's $205 million in annual patient revenue could vault Central DuPage to more than $700 million, which would make it Chicago's fifth-largest hospital system. Read Full Story »

Senior Driving and Traffic Safety - Safety Tips for Older Drivers
July 03, 2010While traffic safety is important for all drivers, seniors experience physical changes that can affect their driving abilities.
