BELOIT, Wis. (WIFR) – Beloit Health System’s application for a Certificate of Need to establish NorthPointe Neighborhood Hospital will be reevaluated in January 2025.

Beloit Health System submitted the initial application for the expansion on Oct. 29 but was denied by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board.

Senior Vice President Dr. “We are disappointed in the board’s decision, but we respect the review process and take their feedback seriously,” says Roger Kapoor. “Our commitment to primary healthcare remains strong. “We believe a local hospital and Emergency Room is vital and we remain fully committed to this project.”

The proposal includes a new Emergency Department and 10-bed hospital.

BHS says they will continue to work to strengthen their application and asks the community to share their feedback.
