West Suburban property owner calls for new management

Rathnaker Reddy is looking for hospital systems or health- organizations interested in reopening the hospital

By JESSICA MORD Staff

After West Suburban nounced last week that all patient services would be shuttered, the person who owns the real estate said he is looking to reopen and operate the hospital.

While Resilience Healthcare Suburban — and We in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, closed last summer — Holdings bought the hospital properties and leases them to Resilience Healthcar Rathnaker Reddy, o in statement that, in urban’s closure, he’s Hospital & Medical Center. Previously Mercy Hospital, Insight bought the struggling South Side institution in 2021, when it was hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. Reddy said Insight is willing to engage with West Sub.

“Insight is to suppo preserving healthcare services at West Suburban Hospital, similar to the role we played in maintaining Mercy Hospital,” said Insight CEO Atif Bawahab in a statement. “Our mission is to step into complex situations and maintain continuity of care for the sake of the com-

provide local residents with a stable and accessible healthcare option during this transitional period.”

Under state health regulations, the temporary closing of a hospital requires written notification to the state’s Health Facilities and Service Review Board. It also requires the shuttered hospital to provide status up-

dates every 30 days.

If the conversations with a new hospital operator move forward, state regulations require that any new ownership would need a state permit and would have to work through the state licensing process

State Rep. La Shawn Ford, who recently won the Democratic primary for Congress in the 7th congressional district, previously told reporters: “Today’s closure of patient care services at West Suburban is a devastating blow to our community, which is already underserved in healthcare facilities.

Manoj Prasad has been the CEO of Resilence Healthcare for the past three years. ddy said in his statement that he’s also open to engaging other hospital systems and healthcare organizations which might want over management and clinical operations at the hospital.

Suburban has long served as an essential safety net institution for residents on Chicago’s West Side and in the surrounding west suburban communities,” Reddy said in his statement. “The loss of services, particularly in such a timely manner, will have a profound and lasting impact on access to care and community health outcomes. ... Our

Ford also said a full investigation of West Sub’s finances will be necessary.

Prasad said last Wednesday that the closing was only temporary and that the hospital’s emergency department would close at 4 p.m. that day while all patients within the hospital would be transferred by March 27.

The closure of West Sub includes both its Oak Park campus on Austin Boulevard and its office campus on Lake Street in River Forest. The medical office building on the main campus will remain open, Prasad said.

West Sub’s Electronic Medical Record system has failed to keep up with patient billing over the last year, resulting in “at least half” of the hospital’s work not getting billed, according to the internal email obtained by the Journal and Austin Weekly last week.

“While you have been focused on healing the sick, several of us have been focused on a different crisis that started exactly one year ago when we transitioned to the new EMR,” Prasad wrote to staff. “The EMR vendor’s team with numerous consultants and experts could not understand what the problem was and how to fix it. As a result, for the past year, our hospital has survived on

shared goal must be to prevent the permanent loss of critical clinical services and to protect the health and well-being of the communities we serve.”

When West Suburban announced its closure to staff the morning of March 25, Prasad sent employees an email that said, over the last year, the West Suburban’s Electronic Medical Record system has failed to bill for over half of the hospital’s services, resulting in a financial crisis and inability to pay employees. While many employees will be furloughed, Prasad said patient services will be reinstated once the billing system starts working.

In 2022, Reddy told Austin Weekly News that he was considering expanding his hospital holdings when Prasad asked him to be involved in the purchase

“I’m very interested in being [involved] in American hospitals, because I think healthcare is a human right,” he said. “I won’t say basic [right], but a human right.”

around 10% to 15% of our normal income.”

Prasad said in an email to the Journal and Austin Weekly that for 11 months, he knew the system wasn’t accurately billing for the hospital’s work When asked what could have been done differently to prevent this situation, Prasad said “I do not want to finger point.”

In his email to staf f, Prasad said that hospital leadership was employing “two strategies” to catch up on the uncontrolled billing, but that the process would likely take months.

“It is a manual and tedious process, but it is starting to show results,” he wrote. “However, it will take months of focused hard work to get there. In the meanwhile, we have been trying to obtain grants or advances to keep paying our hefty payroll costs till we again become self-sufficient but have not been successful.”

Over the last year, the Journal and Austin Weekly have re ported on a variety of financial and other issues at the safety net hospital and its parent company, including re portedly millions in unpaid taxes, failed safety inspections, the loss of its residency program’s accreditation and the closure of West Sub’s sister hospital Weiss Memorial.

So ware company responds a er blame for West Suburban closure

West Sub leader said records system led to work going unbilled

By BRENDAN HEFFERNAN Staff Reporter

West Suburban Medical Center closed patient operations last week, with leadership citing a financial “crisis” driven by major issues with its records and billing software. Resilience Healthcare CEO Manoj Prasad told West Suburban staff last week that the hospital was closing indefinitely as it didn’t have the money to cover payroll expenses Prasad put the blame for the financial shortfall on the hospital’s Electronic Medical Record system, which he said had failed to keep up with patient service. He said anywhere from half to 90% of the hospital’s work hadn’t been getting billed properly

over the last year, according to the internal email obtained by Wednesday Journal.

“The numbers indicate that at least half of our work was not getting billed, but nobody could understand why,” Prasad wrote to staff. “The EMR vendor’s team with numerous consultants and experts could not understand what the problem was and how to fix it. As a result, for the past year, our hospital has survived on around 10% to 15% of our normal income. To put things in perspective, imagine if your family’s monthly income fell by 90% for a full year: that is how we’ve been feeling.”

In the email, Prasad said that the hospital transitioned to new record keeping software a year ago. Wednesday Journal has learned that the program in question was Paragon Denali, a records system built by Altera Digital Health with rural and community hospitals in mind .

The company addressed West Sub’s closure in a statement to Wednesday Journal.

“Altera Digital Health is devastated to learn of the decision to suspend operations at West Suburban Medical Center, a longstanding pillar of the Oak Park community,” the company said. “Since the implementation of our software at its facilities in mid-2025, we have collaborated closely with Resilience Healthcare and have taken steps to help address the significant operational and financial challenges it has faced. Paragon’s dozens of clients nationwide successfully use our software for revenue cycle operations, and we aim to explore options that could support West Suburban Medical Center in resuming its vital services to the

Medical tenants bail on West Su

PCC Wellness operating, for now, out of hospital building

By DAN HALEY Interim Editor

As financial problems and building management concerns have cascaded at West Suburban Medical Center over the past year, multiple long-term medical tenants have moved out of spaces they rent, both at the main hospital campus on Austin Boulevard and at the River Forest campus on Lake Street.

In weeks prior to West Suburban’s shutdown last Wednesday, two major tenants relocated to new office spaces in Downtown Oak Park.

West Suburban Eye Associates had locations at both West Sub campuses. Last week, the eye doctor relocated to newly renovated space in the Byline Bank building at 1011 Lake St. Genesis Orthopedics and Sports Medicine also just moved from the main West Sub campus to a location at 1025 Westgate in Oak Park.

David King, a leading commercial leasing agent in Oak Park, said in a recent interview that he was fielding calls from additional West Sub tenants looking to relocate.

PCC Wellness, a 14-location health provider focused on

underserved and often uninsured patients, has four offices that remain open on the Austin Boulevard campus, as of the morning of March 30.

Dr. Paul Luning, PCC’s chief medical officer, told Austin Weekly News and Wednesday Journal it has three offices in the hospital’s medical office building. That building mains open. PCC has its OB/GYN and primary care practices in those offices, said Luning.

PCC also houses its Walk-In Wellness and Urgent Car facility in what was previously West Sub’s emergency department on the south end of the main building. facility, which is open 12 hours a day, seven days a week, remains open. Luning estimated the facility treats an age of 50 patients per day.

community as soon as possible.”

Company officials did not answer followup questions about the matter.

“We are not providing additional statements on the matter at this time,” a company spokesperson said.

Paragon Denali was made available to the market in late 2024, according to a company press release from Feb. 2025. That press release said that Pipeline Health, the entity that owned West Sub and the nowshuttered Weiss Memorial Hospital until Resilience took over the embattled hospitals in 2022, also uses the software in its Los Angeles hospitals.

Over the last year, Wednesday Journal has re ported on a variety of financial and other issues at West Sub and at Resilience Healthcare. Those issues include a lawsuit alleging that Resilience Healthcare owes entities associated with Pipeline Health $67 million for the transfer of the hospitals.

How long it will remain open in a building that is otherwise shut down is unknowable, he said. PCC staf f found their space locked up at one point over the weekend, but remaining hospital security staff opened the doors.

“We are taking it day by day. And now we have two [hospital] owners who are not entirely in ag reement,” said Luning. He said PCC has created contingency plans over the past year in the event West Sub closed. The plans include

shifting operations to other PCC facilities in Austin and also on Lake Street near Austin in Oak Park. “We won’t have to shut down,” said Luning.

West Sub and PCC have a long relationship going back to the early 1980s when West Sub, then an independent, community-owned hospital, was sold for the first of many times to larger health systems.

“With psychology, I want to bridge those tion and awareness and be a vessel for my community also considering sociology to better understand the context behind these issues. Right now, I’m just getting feet wet, learning, being intentional and vessel not only for my community but for myself Dudley said.

Dudley said having grown up in a marginalized community and coming from Austin inspired him to take action in his community. As the oldest ofnine siblings, he said his family shaped his perspective by pushing him to mature early, adapt quickly, and take on significant responsibilities from a young age.

“Being in that environment, I feel like it prepared me to always take action, no matter what it is. I need to put myselfin a better position and be able to provide for myself and my family,” said Dudley.

He said while the official reco gnition ofthe ASAP Safe Zone at Alt Space Chicago as the city’s first designated safe zone in Austin was a meaningful acknowledgement, he did not seek reco gnition and remained focused on the work. The reco gnition followed a city council resolution

ntroduced by Alderman Chris Taliafer ro T he resolution honored the ASAP Safe Zone and the Root2Fruit oundation. He said the moment was less about praise and more about continuing ef for ts to create real hange in the community.

While it began in Austin, he aims to grow the program citywide, reaching underserved neighborhoods throughout Chicago. His role will continue to focus on guiding and supporting this growth, ensuring the initiative makes a meaningful impact.

“It doesn’t mean it’s just about us, but it does mean that all ofus play a part. I want to see these ef for ts grow into collaborative initiatives. It’s not just about us, it’s about creating safe zones, hosting conferences, and supporting the different work we do together.

But when we come to g ether and find common ground or shared unity to work toward, it shows that whatever we put our minds to, we can achieve. It’s simply about having an action plan behind it and being proactive about what we want in our neighborhoods, rather than waiting for someone else to come and change them for us,” Dudley said.

Neighbors get rst look at Douglass Park plans

Upgrades prioritize accessibility

By HECTOR CERVANTES Contributing Reporter

Neighbors got a first look at a $5.7 million plan to renovate the lower level ofDouglass Park’s fieldhouse, including updates to bathrooms, locker rooms, and community spaces on March 25.

Funded primarily through tax increment financing (TIF) secured by Alderman Monique Scott, the project builds on ongoing efforts to modernize the park and address longstanding water damage, while incorporating input from North Lawndale and Little Village residents through participatory budgeting and community engagement.

“Over the past few years, the Chicago Park District has invested $13 million in Douglass Park in cooperation with various funding sources. Additional fieldhouse improvements are planned for 2026, following several upgrades completed in 2025,” said Kathryn Thomas, senior park manager at the park district.

In 2025, several upgrades were completed, including a water main replacement, roof work on the Copper Towers rehab project and a new liner for the outdoor pool. Looking ahead, planned improvements include repairs to the gymnasium floor and ceiling, with the project already assigned to Capitol Construction and expected to move forward soon. The renovated gym floor will resemble the auditorium’s current flooring at Douglass Park and will feature updated striping for continued sports use.

“In addition to internal repairs, we will be making several site improvements throughout Douglass Park We have already completed an assessment for lighting upgrades and will be replacing the outdoor poles to improve lighting. The project is expected to begin in summer 2026, as soon as materials arrive,” Thomas said.

Thomas acknowledged community concerns about tree trimming, noting that work began in the winter and will continue throughout the year in a way that protects tree growth and bird migration. She added that other ongoing improvements at Douglass Park include pool liner repairs and a $400,000 renovation ofthe fieldhouse’s up-

per towers

“The total budget for this project is $5.7 million, with $1 million coming through a state grant. The lion’s share is $4.7 million in TIF funding secured by Alderman Monique Scott specifically for the lower level at Douglass Park. Once that funding was secured, a design contract was authorized by our board late last year, and the design team has already been in the building working hard on the schematics,” Thomas said.

Thomas said the project has a focus on addressing persistent water intrusion in the lower level ofthe fieldhouse. The goal is to identify how water is entering the building and properly seal it so future structural and cosmetic repairs are not compromised However, final repair costs remain uncertain until an engineering report determines the source of the issue.

Par tnering with the State of Illinois will be a major boost to the park building once water issues are resolved. Key areas of the existing floor plan include the spiral staircases, adjacent vestibules, upper-level promenade and access points to the pool and equipment room.

“The major structural portions ofthe building must remain in place. The staircases and vestibules will not be moved, and the pool filter room, pool equipment room, boiler room, and this section of storage must also stay. Additionally, the sewer and plumbing lines, particularly those serving the men’s and women’s restrooms, must remain in their current locations,” Thomas said.

The architects and engineers were tasked with reviewing the building’s various structures, including staircases, plumbing and sewer lines, the pool filter system and HVAC systems. They assessed what could stay, what could be relocated or resized, and how the renovations could improve the building’s overall flow

“This is a new dance room for the facility The women’s and men’s toilets and locker rooms have been upgraded. There is also a single-user toilet and shower designed for families or individuals with disabilities who need extra space or assistance from a caregiver,” Thomas said.

After reviewing multiple iterations, Thomas believes this layout maximizes every usable inch of the lower level ofthe fieldhouse

Laramie Bank to accept tenants this summe

Work on business incubator to begin in Ma

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Oak Park Re gional Housing Center Executive Director Athena Williams reassured the crowd of about 22 residents that the long-awaited mixed-use development at the northwest corner of the intersection of Chicago and Laramie avenues made quite a bit of progress – enough that the residential portion of the project should start accepting tenants this June.

The project goes all the way back to thenMayor Lori Lightfoot’s Invest South/West initiative, which sought to encourage redevelopment of the long-vacant, usually city-

separate deals.

As Williams acknowledged sentation, the Austin Alliance ran into its own difficulties. In May 2023, Heartland Housing dropped out of the project as it found itself facing financial difficulties, something Heartland Alliance blamed on pandemic-era eviction protections hurting its rental revenue and expenses rising due to inflation. A few months later, West Chester, Ohio-based Pivotal Housing came on board as a re placement. also said during her presentation that cold weather has slowed down construction.

“We don’t want pets to have accidents in the hallways,” she said.

Willams said that the meeting attendees who gave their contract information to Austin Alliance staf f will get first dibs on the application.

Williams told Austin Weekly News that the Laramie Bank building will include around 3,000 feet of co-working office space, which she said would include open office spaces and private rooms. She said that they are still working out on the exact layout and how much they would charge. And while Austin Alliance is still negotiating with several banks about opening up a branch on the first floor, it is not clear whether it intends to follow through on the earlier plans to put in a coffee shop.

While the Laramie Bank property isn’t part of Ald. Chris Taliafer ro’s 29th Ward, he noted that Williams is his constituent, and he supported the project becuase he expected it to beneit all parts of Austin.

“We’ve had a housing issue in the City of Chicago, or lack of housing issue in the City o Chicago, for many, many years, and on top of that, if you add the word ‘affordable’ to that, it becomes even more scarce,” he said. “In 29th Ward or any other ward, we’re always happy when we can bring quality af fordable housing to the community.”
