PCC Community Wellness Center is moving its Wellness and Urgent Care Center out of the now-shuttered West Suburban Medical Center on Austin Boulevard. After initially saying it would remain in the space previously occupied by the hospital’s old emergency room, PCC decided instead to relocate the two programs to existing facilities it owns in Austin.
Dr. Paul Luning, chief medical officer at PCC, said the organization has space in its building at 5425 Lake St. and planned to make the move overnight on April 7 and reopen in the space on April 8.
Luning said 75% of its patients come from east of Austin Boulevard including from Austin, Berwyn, Cicero and the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood of the city.
He said PCC will continue to pay its modest lease obligation on the old ER “in case we need it.”
PCC is also moving its OB ultrasound and sports medicine offices out of West Sub’s professional office building after it inexplicably lost power in those offices last week. Like the urgent care program, those services will also move into spaces in its Austin facilities this week.
Offices for two PCC primary care practices will remain in operation in West Sub’s professional office building.
