  Prime Healthcare completed the acquisition of eight Ascension Illinois hospitals on March 1, 2025.

St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet, Illinois, has decided to close its inpatient behavioral health unit, a move that has sparked significant concern and potential anger among local residents. The hospital, part of the Ascension health system, announced that the closure, effective from September 15, is due to a decline in patient volume and the need to reallocate resources to other areas of care.
