Catheterization Labs Expansion Now Open In Bolingbrook

BOLINGBROOK, IL — UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook has opened two new catheterization labs, the hospital shared in a news release.

The new labs provide greater access to advanced cardiovascular and cancer care, a news release shares. The labs' opening was celebrated on Sept. 30 with a ribbon cutting from hospital and community leaders.

“This is an important day for our hospital, our team members, our physicians and most importantly, the patients and families we serve, who deserve access to advanced, whole-person care close to home,” said Eunmee Shim, president and CEO of UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook.

The $21.6 million, 15,000-square-foot addition is at 500 Remington Blvd.

“This is the latest example of how we’re delivering on our plan to meet the health needs of our communities now and in the years ahead,” said Dr. Monica Reed, president and CEO of UChicago Medicine AdventHealth. “Across cardiovascular care, cancer care, neurosciences, orthopedics, behavioral health and many other areas, we’re welcoming more specialists, expanding services and enhancing technology to ensure our patients have world-class care for every aspect of their healthcare journey.”

The new cath labs use minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose, treat and prevent serious heart problems and advanced interventional radiology procedures for cancer patients, including image-guided biopsies and minimally invasive treatments, the news release shares.

“Our physicians and care teams have additional capacity, advanced technology and a more effective environment in which to diagnose and treat patients,” said Dr. Arnon Rubin, president of the medical staff at UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook. “The impact will be felt in emergency care, scheduled procedures and ongoing treatment for patients with complex needs.”

The opening of the cath labs follows the addition of seven cardiologists to the UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Heart and Vascular care team over the last year, according to a news release. The team now has nearly 20 physicians who see patients at offices in Bolingbrook, Chicago, Hinsdale, La Grange, Plainfield and Woodridge.
