St. Margaret’s meeting

‘with larger health system’

Hospital hires investment bankers to further sale

By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com

St. Margaret’s Health has been “meeting with a larger health system regarding the potential acquisition of St. Margaret’s” in recent months, according to an internal memorandum Tuesday.

President and CEO Tim Muntz further advised employees because of confidentiality and a nondisclosure agreement, “we are unable to disclose the identity of the larger system at this time.”

“To further facilitate these discussions, and to ensure St. Margaret’s achieves the highest value from any potential transaction, we have retained Juniper Advisory to serve as our investment bankers,” Muntz said in the memo.

Putnam County Community Center to hold caregiver program April 10

The Putnam County Community Center will be offering a free caregiver stress-busting program from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, April 10, at 128 First St. in Standard.

The program will be geared toward family caregivers that care for loved ones with memory loss or dementia. This is a holistic program that focuses on the caregiver.

“As our investment bankers, Juniper has initiated a marketing campaign to assist us in identifying other parties that may be interested in acquiring St. Margaret’s.”

Linda Burt, vice president of quality and community services for St. Margaret’s, confirmed the authenticity of the document.

The memo marks the first time St. Margaret’s has acknowledged widespread rumors it has been in talks with another health care network about acquiring the Spring Valley hospital and/or the closed Peru hospital.

The former Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru was abruptly closed in January. St. Margaret’s officials said years of mounting financial pressures left the hospital with no emergency room staff, without which the hospital cannot remain open. St. Margaret’s has sought to operate the Peru facility as a rural emergency hospital.

Participants can expect to learn stress management techniques, relaxation and coping strategies. Meetings will last 90 minutes and will take place once a week for nine weeks.

Activities and programs will be offered for the care recipient during the meeting times. For information or to register for the program, call the PCCC at 815-339-2711 or 800-757-4579.

Bennett’s bill to curb teacher shortage advances

Shaw Local News Network

The Illinois Senate Education Committee voted unanimously to advance legislation from state Sen. Tom Bennett, R-Gibson City, that would suspend the Teacher Performance Assessment requirement.

“We continually hear that the current edTPA requirement is one of the biggest roadblocks for prospective teachers in education programs,” Bennett said in a news release. “This legislation will waive the requirement for two years, helping to get more teachers into classrooms while we develop a better system.”

Bennett said the legislation would remove one of the biggest issues stopping prospective teachers from making it to the classroom.

Under current law, prospective teachers are required to pass the edTPA requirement to complete their education program. The edTPA standard has been criticized for

being difficult, inaccurate in predicting future performance, expensive for education students, and for taking too much time away from in-classroom training, Bennett said in the release.

The requirement also has been blamed for keeping diverse teachers out of classrooms, he said.

Senate Bill 1488, filed by Bennett, would waive the edTPA requirement through Aug. 31, 2025. The legislation also would create the Teacher Performance Assessment Task Force, which would be tasked with developing a new evaluation system for teaching students. The task force would be required to present its findings no later than Aug. 1, 2024.

The legislation passed the Senate Education Committee on March 22.

With redistricting, Bennett’s 53rd Senate District now takes in southern La Salle County, southern Bureau County and a portion of Putnam County, including Streator.
