New Centegra Hospital-Huntley Features Private, Same-Sided Patient Rooms

HUNTLEY, Ill., and MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Many years of visioning, planning and hard work have come to fruition in the Illinois village of Huntley this month, as Centegra Health System and its program management partner, Hammes Company, unveiled the new $230-million, 128-bed Centegra Hospital-Huntley.Situated on what was once a strawberry patch surrounded by cornfields, the new hospital represents a multifaceted win for the community. It expands on the existing outpatient services on the campus to provide an even higher level of care for the town of Huntley and the citizens of rapidly expanding McHenry and Northern Kane counties, while providing an economic boon to the local workforce.

As the second new hospital to be built in the area in the past 30 years, Centegra Hospital-Huntley has been planned and executed to provide advanced healthcare and a healing environment. Along with general medical and surgical services, features include a cardiac catheterization lab, two level II trauma rooms, a family birth center and a special care nursery. A helipad adjacent to the emergency department will accommodate critical flight for life situations. All patient rooms are private and same-sided so that all rooms are identical, promoting safety and staff efficiency. In each room there is a family zone to accommodate visiting and attending family members.

In addition to Hammes Company, the project team included Power Construction, Kahler Slater and Korda.
