FHN Health plans to join Mercyhealth in 2026, rebranding as Mercyhealth FHN, to boost services and stability with a $100 million investment.
FHN, a 120-year-old health system in Freeport, Illinois, plans to affiliate with Mercyhealth in 2026, pending approval, to address financial challenges and expand services through a $100 million investment.
The move follows FHN’s withdrawal from a prior deal with Beloit Health System to build a micro-hospital in Roscoe.
Under the agreement, FHN will rebrand as Mercyhealth FHN, with funds supporting upgrades like a cancer center and robotic surgery systems.
The deal is expected to close December 31, 2026, after a public hearing and review by the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
Beloit Health System criticized the affiliation, citing concerns over reduced healthcare access, while Mercyhealth emphasized alignment in mission and long-term sustainability.
