Description
It began with one man, and one vision. In 1971, Dr. G. William Cotts had a dream of bringing cardiac care at a university level to the suburban hospital setting.
With the vision of Dr. Cotts, LaGrange Memorial Hospital was the first hospital in the western suburbs to have a catheterization laboratory. The lab has grown from diagnostic procedures to a lab with heightened level of detection, prevention and interventional treatment in cardiology. In 1972, Dr. Cotts and his team performed the first coronary angiogram in the hospital. In 1990 Dr. Jerome Hines revolutionized cardiac care by performing a PTCA procedure to clear blocked coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart, and again in 1994 by performing the areas first procedure to insert a stent for a blocked coronary artery. In 2005, we were the first in Chicago with GE's 64 slice CT scanning machine.
Today, we continue to practice on the forefront of medicine. As our practice has grown, we have expanded to our communities in LaGrange, Hinsdale, Oak Lawn, Westchester, Palos Heights, Tinley Park, and Chicago.
