Provena set to announce appeal of tax case to state's high court

URBANA – Provena Covenant Medical Center hopes to take its case for a charitable tax exemption all the way to Illinois' highest court, hospital board chairman Jon "Cody" Sokolski said.

He and other Provena officials were scheduled to announce later this afternoon that the hospital will file an appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court of last month's 4th District Appellate Court decision that came down against the hospital and sided with the Illinois Department of Revenue.
