The new building on Evergreen Avenue is to replace the current Bonutti Clinic and to house other SBL facilities in Effingham.

During a phone conversation Monday morning, HSHS St. Anthony's President and CEO Theresa Rutherford said the HSHS objection is not due to Sarah Bush's desire for a new building, but for the size of the project and some of the services to be contained there.

We will let you know if and when the public hearing is scheduled.
