New Edward Healthcare Center opens in Plainfield

Edward Hospital’s growth in Will County continues with the opening of the Edward Healthcare Center at 16519 S. Route 59 (Route 59 and Dayfield Drive) in Plainfield.  The new 22,000 square foot building takes the place of Edward’s location at 15905 Frederick St. in Plainfield.  The larger facility means Edward is able to offer more physicians and new services to the residents of the south Plainfield area.

The center will have three primary care physicians from Edward Medical Group, including family medicine specialists Sanjeeb Khatua, MD; Lilia Protaziuk, MD and Bob William, MD.  Patients can receive primary care at this location seven days a week.

New services include Physical Therapy, Lab and Imaging (digital mammography, X-ray and ultrasound).
