Chicago Health Medical Group (CHMG) in partnership with Weiss Memorial Hospital has opened a new outpatient office in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. Located at 6201 North Broadway, the office will meet the medical demands of a growing diverse community.

“We’re happy to continue to partner with CHMG in this way, expanding primary care and specialty services in a more personalized, convenient way for our neighbors,” said Anthony J. Tedeschi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer at Weiss.

Community members are invited to attend a Halloween-themed open house on Oct. 30 from 5:30-7PM. The event will kick off the Halloween weekend with treats, fun activities, an office tour and appetizers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak directly with the providers.

Family Medicine Specialist Robin Tong, D.O., who believes in developing long-term partnerships with his patients, will be the first physician to provide medical services on-site along with Family Nurse Practitioner, Beata Janton. They both are currently on staff at Weiss and accepting patients.

“Good medicine equals one part science, one part common sense and a whole lot of care,” Dr. Tong said. He is most interested in preventive health, LGBT medicine and complementary and alternative medicine. In addition to English, Dr. Tong is fluent in Cantonese Chinese.
