The Sun-Times is reporting this afternoon: "Elective and non-critical surgical procedures are being postponed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Monday after a ventilation problem in a group of surgical rooms forced the closure of several rooms." Issues with the ventilation may not be resolved until tomorrow night and the hospital is working to prioritize surgeries so that the most critical get performed first.
