The hospital stopped the service back in 2011 as a way to reduce costs, but this caused major strain at other nearby emergency rooms and cutting dozens of nursing positions.
Starting around 8:00, ambulance services will resume, this time with some new capabilities like a newly installed MRI, in-patient dialysis service and reopening the ICU.
"To get here today, we had to make approximately $2 million in emergency department renovations. We need to do another $2 million to start our MRI and we needed to do $1.3 million annually that will be part of our process to be able to have the expanded medical, surgical and ICU capacities," said Chief Executive Officer for Cook County Health Israel Rocha Jr.
According to Cook County Board President Preckwinkle, more than $5 million in investments have since been made to the hospital. The plan is to continue that growth.

While the United Nations and rights groups say the NATO air strikes led to civilian deaths, the number is far lower than the half a million alleged by the posts. A UN investigation found NATO air strikes killed 60 civilians and separate reports by rights organisations indicate there were dozens of civilian deaths.
