UChicago opens new clinic
UChicago Medicine’s current clinic on Salt Creek Lane in Hinsdale closed Nov. 21 and will open across the street in a new, larger facility Dec. 2.
The University of Chicago Medicine is expanding its services in Hinsdale, opening a new outpatient center at 11 Salt Creek Lane.
The facility will give patients greater access to the innovative care and academic medicine expertise of physicians from UChicago Medicine and UChicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital. With UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Hinsdale hospital nearby, patients will now have access to the complete spectrum of care in the western suburbs.
A wide range of services for the whole family will be offered, including ENT head and neck surgical oncology; ENT sleep surgery; digestive diseases; OB-GYN specialties; pediatric and adolescent gynecology; pediatric cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology and allergy; and kidney, liver and lung transplant.
During a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 8, University of Chicago Health System President Thomas Jackiewicz said one of the keys to providing exceptional care is to make sure health care is easily accessible to people.
“We know how proximity to care can significantly improve patient outcomes, and Salt Creek will expand care options for residents of Chicago’s western suburbs,” he said.
