I wonder what happened to 230 bed Westlake hospital in Melrose Park just west of Chicago. I'm assuming it closed and all the staff were let go? But that was only like 6 months ago. It may not have been profitable enough, but it wasn't cardboard, the switches weren't painted on, seems like it could be brought out of mothballs if (big if) they can find staff.
