In a move that MIGHT be a sign that things might begin to move forward with sponsorship with the St Anne Center, Franciscan Health Care has started to include coverage of NFP in their employee coverage
This is a response to the HHS Mandate and actually is a response to a suggestion of an employee.
It is interesting too because one of the hospitals in the Franciscan Alliance contacted me a couple of years ago as a possible place to start or join a practice. We discussed my ideas a little, and they never really got back to me.
There is only one hospital in Illinois, St James in Olympia Fields, which I believe used to be the main teaching hospital for Chicago Osteopathic, and Chicago Heights. Maybe they have heard the story and might have an interest at some point…..
It is amazing what God’s will might be!
St Anne, pray for us
