🌟 Update from : On the morning of Nov. 25, 2025, we experienced a power outage due to an issue with a nearby ComEd transformer. Our electronic non-emergency power and digital health records were temporarily inaccessible. 🚨 Our dedicated staff worked quickly to resolve the situation, and while a limited number of patient appointments were rescheduled, most were still able to receive care thanks to our contingency plans. Thank you for your understanding! 💙
