NorthPointe Neighborhood Hospital - We need your support!
Beloit Health System to Re-Present Certificate of Need Application for
NorthPointe Campus Expansion in January Following Denial
Yesterday, the Beloit Health System presented its application for a Certificate
of Need (CON) permit to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review
Board to establish a NorthPointe Neighborhood Hospital. While the proposal
did not achieve the six votes required for approval, it will be reconsidered
at the next Board meeting in January 2025. The proposal includes a 10-bed
hospital and a new Emergency Room to address the community’s pressing
healthcare needs.
“We are disappointed by the Board’s decision but respect the
review process and take their feedback to heart,” said Dr. Roger
Kapoor, Senior Vice President. “Our commitment to essential healthcare
services remains strong. We believe a local hospital and Emergency Room
are vital, and we remain fully committed to this project.”
"As we move forward with our project, I want to extend my heartfelt
gratitude to our community for their incredible support,” said Tim
McKevett, President and CEO of Beloit Health System, “With over
1,400 signatures on our petition and more than 200 passionate attendees
at the public hearing, it is clear that our vision resonates deeply with
the people we serve. Thank you to the leaders of the South Beloit, Roscoe,
Rockton communities, including our dedicated police and fire chiefs, for
standing with us. Together, we will continue to relentlessly advocate
for our community members, ensuring they have the access to the care they
need and deserve."
In the coming months, the Beloit Health System will work diligently to
strengthen its application while actively encouraging community members
to share their feedback on its proposal. Thank you for your continued
support as we move forward in this important initiative.

Proposal for NorthPointe Neighborhood Hospital
With goals of enhancing healthcare accessibility and quality, Beloit Health
System is thrilled to announce the planned establishment of NorthPointe
Neighborhood Hospital. As the first and only hospital in the Stateline
community, this state-of-the-art medical facility is poised to revolutionize
healthcare delivery for the communities we serve, ensuring that residents
receive the highest standard of care right at their doorstep.
This hospital, which will be located on the NorthPointe campus in Roscoe,
Illinois, will offer a comprehensive range of healthcare services under
one roof. From emergency care and advanced diagnostic imaging to specialized
treatment for chronic conditions and surgical procedures, our skilled
medical professionals will provide exceptional care tailored to the unique
needs of each patient.
- NorthPointe Neighborhood Hospital will be a small community hospital with
private rooms, an emergency department and urgent care, surgery, lab,
pharmacy, and diagnostic imaging services.
- The hospital will improve health care access by providing essential medical
services focused on timely care.
- BHS expects the hospital to improve patient outcomes and reduce the travel
of Illinoisans to Wisconsin for health care for patients.
- Construction is anticipated to begin in 2025 with an opening projected
for late 2027.
We thank the community for its support in this proposal to provide the
care, close to home, that so many are asking for.
We want to hear how having a closer emergency room or hospital could have
made a difference for you. Please send your experiences to
