CHICAGO (WGN) — For months, the bills have gone unpaid. Local construction firms helped build an on-site behavioral treatment center at Community First Medical Center in Chicago’s Belmont-Cragin neighborhood.

The allegations come as small hospitals nationwide struggle to stay afloat, amid the rising cost of care and issues with Medicaid reimbursements.
