The Vascular Center at Jackson Park Hospital

The human vascular system is made up of arteries and a multitude of blood vessels that supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body.  A variety of conditions and illnesses can result when vascular blood flow becomes impeded and is insufficient to meet the body’s needs.

The Vascular Center at Jackson Park Hospital is dedicated to the screening, evaluation, and care of patients with the full spectrum of blood vessel diseases focusing on:

• Renal Disease
• Aneurysms
• Carotid Artery Disease.  

The Vascular Center at Jackson Park Hospital provides comprehensive and high quality care in the treatment of vascular disease. Our staff of Board Certified Physicians, comprised of Internal Medicine Physicians, Interventional Radiologists and Vascular Surgeons, treat vascular conditions through medical management and special invasive, interventional and surgical treatment options.

The Vascular Center at Jackson Park specializes in minimally invasive alternative treatments when deemed appropriate.  Minimally invasive procedures typically result in less pain and faster recovery for patients than interventional or surgical procedures.  The Vascular Center also provides a full range of interventional and surgical treatment options when deemed necessary.
