Staying Healthy

In addition to a number of private practitioners who maintain offices and facilities in Countryside, residents are also served by two area hospitals: Hinsdale Hospital and LaGrange Memorial Hospital (both are members of the Adventist Midwest Health system).

Established in 1904, Hinsdale Hospital is the oldest and largest medical center in DuPage County. A designated Level II trauma center, the 462-bed facility offers a number of specialized healthcare and treatment services, including the Opler Cancer Center and Rooney Heart Institute. More than 550 on-staff physicians provide expert care in a wide spectrum of medical and healthcare disciplines.

LaGrange Memorial Hospital in neighboring LaGrange is a state-of-the-art, 274-bed Level II trauma center. It is part of the LaGrange Memorial Health System, linked to University of Chicago cardiology and oncology physicians and to Loyola Medical Center for neonatal care.

Four local hospice facilities offer compassionate care for terminally ill patients as well as support services for their families: St. Thomas Hospice (in Hinsdale); Oak Brook Healthcare Center (Oak Brook); Hospice of DuPage (Carol Stream); and Vitas Corp. (Lombard).
