The committee approved revised site plans for the $49 million expansion. The new cancer center would include chemotherapy and radiation treatment, provided at a small addition to be built at the west end of the building, according to the report.
The outpatient surgery center would be contained within the existing building and consist of four operating rooms and eight recovery beds. The surgery center, along with the cancer center, is expected to be completed in 2011.
Lake Forest also has plans to build a medical office building and a four-level parking structure on the Grayslake campus, although this is still pending approval.
