Illinois Supreme Court rules against hospital
From Ballotpedia
March 19, 2010
Illinois: The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, March 18, that the Provena Covenant Medical Center, a hospital in Urbana, does not qualify for a property tax exemption. This decision ends a 5-year long struggle by the hospital to regain its tax exempt status, however, the Supreme Court ruled that it does not provide enough charitable services to earn that status. The court's decision, so far, only affects the Provena run hospital that had its tax exemption revoked by the Illinois Department of Revenue in 2004, however, other hospitals nationwide are concerned for their futures.[1]
