In addition, Jeffrey A. Kons, M.D., has been named medical director. The practice is located in the OneAmerica Tower at the intersection of Illinois and Ohio streets and the doctors currently are accepting new patients.

“With nearly 150,000 people either living or working downtown, having convenient access to high quality medical attention is critical,” said Dr. Kons. “As more and more of these residents or professionals seek out access to care near where they spend the majority of their time, it became critical for us to add a fifth physician to help meet patient demand.”
