UChicago Medicine expands specialty women’s health clinic with location in Chicago’s northern suburbs
University of Chicago Medicine urogynecologists Kimberly Kenton, MD, Sarah Collins, MD, Christina Lewicky-Gaupp, MD, and Margaret Mueller will provide in-person care in Chicago's northern suburbs and perform surgeries at the health system’s Hyde Park campus.
The University of Chicago Medicine has opened its first women’s health clinic in Chicago’s northern suburbs as the Hyde Park-based academic health system continues to expand its primary and specialty care offerings closer to patients’ homes.
The new urogynecology outpatient center, temporarily located in Glenview before a permanent move to Northbrook later this year, is home to four leading UChicago Medicine surgeon-scientists, all of whom provide complex pelvic health care for patients.
“We are committed to providing better, closer and faster access to our health system’s exceptional women’s healthcare, which means giving patients more convenient location options that are closer to their homes,” said Ernst Lengyel, MD, PhD, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chicago. “This new urogynecology location further enhances our growing network of medical and surgical specialty sites across the Chicagoland region.”
Kimberly Kenton, MD, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the health system’s new Chief of the Section of Gynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, is providing care for patients at the new location. She is joined by Sarah Collins, MD, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology; Christina Lewicky-Gaupp, MD, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology; and Margaret Mueller, MD, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
In addition to providing in-person care in the suburbs and virtual visits, the four urogynecologists — board-certified and fellowship-trained subspecialty surgeons with expertise treating pelvic floor disorders in women — will perform surgeries at the health system’s Hyde Park campus.
