TINLEY PARK, IL — Loyola Medicine's newest advanced ambulatory care center, located in Tinley Park, is set to open July 29 with a ribbon cutting and celebration featuring free ice cream and tours of the facility. The ribbon cutting will take place at 10:30 a.m. with a community event to follow from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"This $69 million dollar 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 new location, on the southeast corner of 179th Street and La Grange Road, will provide local residents with exceptional academic medical care conveniently located in their neighborhood, Loyola Medicine boasts.

It will feature specialties such as oncology, cardiology, digestive health, endocrinology, hepatology, neurology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology and audiology, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, primary care, pulmonology, radiology and sports medicine. The 70,000-square-foot, two-story structure includes a comprehensive cancer care center, urgent care center, imaging services, retail pharmacy, fifty exam rooms, eight procedure rooms, and an X-ray suite and laboratory. The facility will open with a phased-in approach beginning July 31.

"The Village of Tinley Park is thrilled to have a top-notch facility like the Loyola Medicine Center here in town," said Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz, who plans to attend the celebration. "Not only is it a welcome addition to the area that will provide tens of thousands of area residents with a place to receive quality medical care, but it will also bring much-needed jobs to Tinley Park and our surrounding communities. It’s a win all around, and we’re excited to have Loyola Medicine as a community partner."
