UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook expands access to advanced heart and cancer care
UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook is making a major investment to bring specialized care closer to home. The hospital announced a 15,000-square-foot expansion that includes two cutting-edge catheterization laboratories, designed to enhance cardiac and cancer treatment capabilities for the Bolingbrook community.
The new facilities will enable faster response times for cardiac emergencies, such as STEMI heart attacks, and broaden access to interventional radiology procedures, including image-guided biopsies and minimally invasive cancer therapies. These advancements aim to improve outcomes for patients requiring complex cardiovascular and oncologic care.
Construction is expected to be completed by September 2026, with services launching in early 2027. This strategic investment underscores the hospital’s commitment to innovation and meeting the growing healthcare needs of the region.

Patients are also provided with devices to track vital signs, ensuring continuous oversight by the care team.
The program is voluntary and covered by Medicare, and NYP ensures continuity of care after discharge through medication adjustments, follow-up appointments, and ongoing health monitoring. This initiative reflects a growing trend toward home-based healthcare, prioritizing patient comfort without compromising clinical excellence.
