DuPage County board members recently listened to a presentation about the DuPage Convalescent Center from the Center for Governmental Research (CGR).
The study offers an overview of the financial landscape that influences the funding and operations of the Convalescent Center, and researchers have found several approaches to developing and planning the future of the center.
“The Convalescent Center’s mission is extremely important to DuPage County,” Dan Cronin, DuPage County board chairman, said. “This is a safety-net service that we view as critical. So it is important for us to know we’re doing everything we can to optimize our resources as we plan for the center’s next 100 years. Getting an objective, third-party view of the center’s operation and some viable options is part of our due diligence as we plan for the future in a rapidly changing health care climate.”
The study was originally approved to offer different management as well as financial sustainability for the DuPage Convalescent Center’s well-being for the future.
“Now the work really begins for those of us developing a long-term strategy for the operation of the Convalescent Center,” Bob Larson, the chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee, said. “And the conversation continues between the board and the community, staff and residents as we work together developing this plan.”
