Hammond-Henry Hospital set to break ground on the "Designed to be Patient Kind" Addition
Geneseo, IL - A milestone event will take place next Wednesday for Hammond-Henry Hospital in Geneseo, IL.

The project will include a new 38-bed long term care addition, a new kitchen/dining addition, and a two-story building that has a physical and occupational therapy suite on the upper level and support services on the lower level.
