Gateway’s network is made up of outreach facilities including primary care offices, orthopedic services, podiatry services, wound care, imaging center and two urgent care locations. And with more than 150 active medical staff members and over 900 employees, the medial center’s zealously committed to seeing patients within 30 minutes of their noted arrival at its Emergency Department.
Of course, Gateway long has taken pride in its perennially strong orthopedic program with the Doctors of Illinois Southwest Orthopedics leading its Bone & Joint Center. Patient satisfaction there soars, scoring in the 95th percentile nationwide for total knee and hip replacement. The medical center also recently received the Joint Commission’s chest pain certification.
In addition to its aforementioned specialties and services, the facility – the only Illinois hospital nationally recognized for the fifth consecutive year by the Joint Commission for achieving excellence on performance of key quality measures – offers a host of other programs. Among them is its one-of-a-kind in the state new Diabetic Limb Preservation program. The process is minimally invasive and stimulates blood flow back to diabetic feet to promote healing, enabling diabetic patients to manage their condition along with other risk factors to improve their overall health and well being.
The proper treatment of wounds and management of chronic health conditions means the prevention of additional wounds and enhanced quality of life.
