Carle Foundation Hospital gets go-ahead to build addition

URBANA – Construction should begin by early next year on a $236 million addition to the main Urbana campus of Carle Foundation Hospital.

The hospital won state approval Tuesday for the nine-story addition from the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board. The state panel voted 4-0 to approve the project, which will be next to the hospital's north tower.
