We have before us defendant Cook County Hospital’s (“hospital”) motion to dismiss the complaint as untimely and as stating a claim for which relief cannot be granted because the hospital is a non-suable entity. For the following reasons, defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted. However, Payne is granted leave to file an amended complaint naming the County of Cook as the defendant.
