UChicago Medicine's Diagnostic and Imaging Center at River East celebrated its grand opening on May 25. Imaging options at this center include CT scans, ultrasounds, X-rays, and MRIs. The effort to bring the center to River East began in the fall of 2019 and augments the site's mammography, bone density, and breast biopsy services.
"We are very excited about the opening the Imaging Center in River East," said Kim Lenner, MBA, Executive Director, Radiology. "This was a concept that was developed four years ago, but for a variety of reasons, including COVID-19, we had to pause the project. We believe that it's important to make imaging more accessible, and this center allows us to provide care closer to home for many of our patients."
The River East location includes primary care, infusion therapy, and more than 20 specialty care services. The diagnostic and imaging center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
