Riverside Orthopedic and Spine Center

In 2018 Riverside established Orthopedic Specialists in an ongoing commitment to provide complete care to the region. Now in 2021, Riverside celebrates the opening of the Riverside Orthopedic and Spine Center in Bourbonnais. The building aims to connect key Riverside service lines in one centralized location.

"Our aim was to create a facility that would bring the entirety of our orthopedic and neurosurgery teams along with our physical therapist under one roof to best serve our patients," said Phil Kambic, President and CEO of Riverside Healthcare. "Healthcare can be very tough to navigate for patients. If we can create a system that makes it easier for them by having everything in one location, that's all the better."

The new Riverside Orthopedic and Spine Center is 50,000 square feet over two floors. A walk-in clinic is immediately accessible to visitors upon entering the new building. The clinic is intended to treat sprains/strains, closed fractures, minor dislocations, painful joints, sports injuries, foot and ankle injuries, and acute pain.

The new center also features two therapy areas—one for occupational therapy and another for physical therapy and sports training. Along with traditional patients, the latest physical therapy space will offer an excellent opportunity for athletes to return to top form after injury.

With more than 50 exam rooms, the Center will serve as a home for Riverside's Orthopedic, Podiatry, and Interventional Pain services. Neurosurgery will also have an established presence in the building to treat and see patients with back and head concerns.

Technology will play a vital role at the new center. With three x-ray rooms and a future home for MRI services, patients will be able to see their doctor and get needed imaging in one location. Additionally, with three conference rooms and a computer lab, Riverside staff will have ample space for education and seminars.

Moreover, the third floor of the building currently remains unfinished, providing Riverside with an additional 25,000 square feet of room to grow to meet patient needs.

The project started in early 2020 with extensive work to improve drainage near Burns Road and US Route 45/52.

Michuda Construction served as general contractor with the architect Jensen & Halstead and many local subcontractors working on the project, including: Commercial Glazing, Communications Solutions, Inc. Craig's Landscaping, Fast Signs, Friendly Signs, Glade Plumbing & Piping Company, MATCO Fire Protection, Performance Mechanical Contractors, Inc., PSI, Inc. Robinson Engineering, Ruder Electric & Technologies, Tatro Painting, Tenco Excavating, and others.
