				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Over a Century of Care for Our Community</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Here at MetroSouth Medical Center, our roots run deep in the Blue Island community. It began in 1905, when St. Francis Hospital opened its doors in a private residence on Gregory Street. Within weeks, that location was too small, and the hospital soon expanded to a capacity of 30 patients. Growing with the community for the next 103 years, St. Francis expanded its services and facilities, with major additions to the hospital in 1916 and 1948. Along the way, the hospital earned a national reputation as a leader in cardiovascular primary care.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">On July 30, 2008, a new chapter in the hospital’s history began with a rededication under new ownership and a new name. Today, MetroSouth Medical Center is located on a 12-acre campus in the heart of Blue Island’s uptown commercial business district. Moving forward, we believe the best way to embrace our history and our long legacy of service is to become the most trusted and sought after hospital on Chicago’s South Side by both patients and medical professionals. At MetroSouth Medical Center, we are redefining what it means to be a progressive community hospital by combining the best practices in medicine with the best in sustainable business practices.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><strong>a business organization.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">The Alsip Chamber offers educational workshops to businesses on a regular basis, helps support a scholarship program for Alsip students, works to attract and retain business in Alsip. We offer assistance to new and existing business about local and state incentives. We forward leads and opportunities to bid on various items to our members thru our Alsip First Program.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">We recognize property owners who make an extra effort to improve the image of Alsip by maintaining their property in an exceptional manner. The Chamber offers assistance to new businesses and advice and resources for helping their business grow. The Chamber answers questions daily about businesses in Alsip, requests for business referrals, and once in a while a complaint about a local business. “If people don’t know where to find it, they call the Chamber, usually we know, but if we don’t we are usually able to direct the inquiry to the proper place for an answer.</span></p>
