St. James Hospital and Health Centers has evolved from a 50-bed acute care hospital that opened its doors in 1911 to a two campus healthcare delivery system that today reaches more than 55,000 in the far south suburbs of Chicago, IL. With campuses in Chicago Heights and Olympia Fields, St. James offers a wide range of services and a unique blend of both allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic (D.O.) philosophies of medicine. Through the ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, St. James has dedicated itself to caring for the sick, fostering health and providing compassionate, high quality healthcare for 90 years. |
