Hubert Doan, 91, is excited about a proposal to build a senior citizen housing complex in the lot across the street from his house. The now-empty lot was the site of Provena United Samaritans Medical Center's Sager Campus.

DANVILLE – For 70 years, Hubert Doan, 91, has lived on Bryan Avenue across the street from what was once St. Elizabeth Hospital, later became Provena United Samaritan Medical Center's Sager Campus and is now a grassy, empty lot.

Like other Rabbittown residents, Doan is happy to hear that Mercy Housing, a nonprofit organization sponsored by Catholic Sisters, is considering the former hospital property as the site for a new senior-citizen housing complex.
