The University of Chicago Medicine has added two new primary care locations in Chicago’s Hyde Park and Kenwood neighborhoods, as part of continued efforts from the Hyde Park-based academic health system to expand care offerings closer to patients’ homes.
In conjunction with UChicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital, UChicago Medicine launched its Cottage Grove clinic on Sept. 1, 2023, to meet growing demand for appointments. The site, located at the corner of Cottage Grove and 55th Street, includes family medicine physicians and general pediatricians and offers services like lab tests and immunizations.
UChicago Medicine Medical Group* opened the Kenwood primary care and internal medicine site on Oct. 19, 2023, at 4646 S. Drexel Ave. Patients have access to same-day appointments, online scheduling and in-person and virtual visits as part of the full continuum of primary care services offered by the health system.
Senior care will also be offered at the Kenwood site in 2024. It will be the Medical Group’s first location to offer integrated care to people 55 years of age and older, incorporating primary care with nutrition counseling, social work and other health care services.
