Illinois will give about $350,000 in emergency cash to Roseland Community Hospital to allow the financially distressed Far South Side hospital to avert a threatened shutdown.
The "temporary assistance," announced Wednesday afternoon by Gov. Pat Quinn's office, aims to keep the hospital open while its board and state officials develop a long-term plan to put the safety-net hospital on solid financial footing.
Quinn warned that the bailout is not a long-term solution for the facility, which treats many patients who are poor and don't have insurance.
