		Hospital that will have to be discussed in much greater detail by the Cook County Board of Commissioners. I look forward to these discussions and anticipate that no final decision will be made regarding the Old Cook County Hospital until the Board thoroughly reviews the Campus Master Plan.
		That decision was based primarily on a 1988 study that focused on the rehabilitation and reuse of the structure for the purposes of a hospital or for educational and offices uses for the hospital.
		Cook County Hospital is significant both as one of the city’s best examples of Beaux Arts-style architecture and for its national historic significance treating the indigent and developing innovative treatments for such things as burns and sickle cell anemia.

	eoa : Cook County Hospital
		Replaced by a mediocre (now awful) new county hospital building in 2002, the old hospital visually embodies all of the characteristics of public architecture that are so refreshing to an age in which health care has drifted into commodity status and the design of public buildings crudely mirrors the already-crude design of private buildings.
		Cook County Hospital is such a wonderful building that one has to wonder why Chicago planners have not made it a top priority to demolish it at all costs, so as to begin the process of erasing public history that is necessary to their plans to privatize every aspect of life in the Midwestern metropolis.
		The Cook County Hospital building is a glaring sign that the United States of America now neglects and actively opposes health care for all of its citizens, by sadly reminding those of us with enough education to know that health care almost became a right that the infrastructure of public health care still exists.

		The hospital was not only recognized nationally for its innovative burn treatment unit, but also it broke ground in the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia and had one of the best emergency rooms in the country.
		County officials have said there is no need for further discussion about tearing down the hospital because a study found that the structure could not be saved.

	Cook County Hospital debate hasn't heard from all voices - baltimoresun.com
		For years, as debate swirled over what do with the elegant but crumbling Cook County Hospital, Chicago's real estate developers never have been invited to state their views about the future of the historic structure in a public forum.
		The shuttered, Beaux-Arts hospital may be on the equivalent of life support, the developers say, but that doesn't mean it can't be resuscitated as medical offices, apartments for those who work in the Illinois Medical District, a patient rehab facility or some combination of those uses.
		While preservationists wax about how Cook County Hospital opened its doors to generations of immigrants and the poor, County Board members have said they want to know whether the 89-year-old hospital can be renovated or whether it's a white elephant that should come down.

		Lawrence Suffredin and other commissioners supporting preservation of the hospital have said it is folly to proceed with demolition on the basis of a study that was conducted 15 years ago -- long before the Near West Side became a gentrified area of trendy restaurants and loft apartments with views of the downtown skyline.
		The developers contacted by the Tribune said Cook County Hospital's chief advantage is its location next to the new John Stroger Hospital and near other medical district institutions, including Rush-Presbyterian--St. Luke's Medical Center.
