Zac Clingenpeel/Sun-Times Members of the Chicago Health Equity Coalition gathered outside of Mercy Hospital on Friday to call on owner Trinity Health Systems to involve community members in the sale process. The hospital announced Wednesday it has signed a nonbinding agreement with Insight Chicago to sell the historic South Side hospital just months before it’s expected to close its doors for good. Mercy Hospital filed bankruptcy in February. CHEC, which is made up of several unions and community groups, has been protesting the closure of the hospital since August. “The folks that represent these doctors, nurses and health care professionals know that we had to band together and lock arms to save this hospital, and we did,” said Shannon Bennett, executive director of Kenwood Oakland Community Organization. KOCO helped found the coalition in August in response to Trinity’s decision to close the hospital.
