McHenry County leaders want out of Northeast Health Region in Pritzker plan – Northwest Herald

“I’ve said that we’re all in this together, but at the same time, it doesn’t make sense for McHenry County to be held back if we’ve met all the requirements until the other counties in our region catch up to us,” McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said. “Our families and businesses are suffering, and every passing day prolongs that suffering. More jobs are forever lost, more businesses shuttered, and more people losing hope."
