Loyola Medicine Tinley Park Now Open, Featuring 18 Specialities

MAYWOOD, IL – Loyola Medicine's newest advanced ambulatory care center, located in Tinley Park, celebrated it's opening Saturday with a ribbon cutting and celebration featuring tours of the facility. The new location on the southeast corner of 179th Street and La Grange Road will open with a phased-in approach and will feature 18 specialties:

"This development allows us to expand our reach to patients in the southwest suburbs, furthering our mission of being a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities," said Shawn Vincent, president and CEO of Loyola Medicine. "We appreciate all of the Loyola Medicine colleagues who have worked so hard to build this beautiful, state-of-the-art space and expand our ability to provide exceptional care to patients where they live."

The 70,000-square-foot, two-story structure, located at 17901 S. La Grange Road, includes imaging services, a retail pharmacy, fifty exam rooms, eight procedure rooms, an X-ray suite and laboratory. The new cancer care center will provide access to radiation therapy, a Varian linear accelerator and chemotherapy infusion. An urgent care center opens on August 14.

"I had the honor of having one doctor, Dr. Sean Diamond — who I think is one of the best my family has ever met — take care of both my children for over 20 years," said Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz who attended the opening celebration Saturday. "This is very personal to me because they're just an amazing group of people; amazing group of doctors. And I've never had an organization be so caring about your family."

By investing $69 million in this development, Trinity Health has demonstrated its commitment to providing conveniently located, accessible healthcare.

"It is, without question, going to be an amazing health care resource for the residents of this growing community," said Mike Slubowski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinity Health. "The building design allows for maximum flexibility with clinical programs as more become available and as service demands increase. And it is a peaceful, healing environment for our patients. The facility represents the best in community-based services that Loyola has to offer to the community. It’s yet another example of Loyola’s expansion through Chicagoland to meet the needs of communities."
