Healthcare in Olympia Fields
In addition to several physicians, psychotherapists and dentists with practices in Olympia Fields, the healthcare and medical needs of local residents are served by St. James Hospital and Medical Center Olympia Fields Campus. The 213-bed, full-service healthcare complex was established in 1978 to offer primary medical and surgery services and provide expert care to nearly a half-million south suburban residents annually. St. James, which employs 1200 full time employees, combines the osteopathic approach of “total patient care” with the most advanced techniques and equipment to provide a unique, comprehensive healthcare delivery system to residents.
St. James Hospital is the only osteopathic hospital in the U.S. designated as a Level I Trauma Center and is the only medical school/teaching hospital in the south suburban area. In addition to medical and surgical inpatient units for rehabilitation, oncology and orthopedics, the medical center has outpatient facilities for over 30 different medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties. Special programs include a wound treatment center, the NeuroSpine Institute, occupational health programs, physician-directed weight management classes and the Golden V.I.P. Club for persons 55 years and older.
Other hospitals within a short drive of Olympia Fields include St. James Medical Center, Chicago Heights Campus, Christ Hospital and Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Harvey, Little Company of Mary Hospital and Healthcare Centers in Evergreen Park, Palos Community Hospital in Palos Heights, St. Francis Hospital and Health Center in Blue Island and South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest.
