Renovations Completed on Chicago‘s Center for Better Aging

The Center for Better Aging has completed its first capital investment at the St. Bernard Hospital campus in Chicago’s Englewood community.

The 1,800-square-foot facility renovation is supported by a grant from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Advanced 3D imaging will also be available in the St. Bernard Hospital Ambulatory Care Center’s expanded mammography suite.

The project’s general contractor, Ujamaa Construction, and its subcontractors included 56% minority and 19% women-owned small businesses. Chicago-based Ujamaa is the Midwest’s largest minority-owned builder.

DL3 Realty provided concept development, feasibility studies, design, and planning to expand imaging facilities in an environment of rising material costs and supply chain disruptions. The 3D imaging lab brings a wide range of advanced testing and diagnostics to the St. Bernard Hospital campus.

The Center for Better Aging is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the lifelong health of Chicago’s South Side adults age 50 and older.
