BLUHM CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE

We will schedule a virtual visit with a nurse coordinator within days of your first contact with us. They will be your point of contact and guide through your care journey. The coordinator will:

• Recommend a physician for your visit.
• Help collect your medical records.
• Schedule your appointments and any tests and procedures.

WHY CHOOSE US?

After your intake visit with our nurse coordinator, our physicians will review your medical information. They will offer treatment recommendations tailored to your specific needs. Then, you will meet with a physician to discuss your treatment options and develop a care plan.

We offer virtual visits so you can get expert guidance right from your home. If you prefer an in-person visit or need testing, we have 19 convenient locations across the Chicago area.
