As part of an overall commitment to educating our surrounding communities about healthy lifestyles, fitness, and injury prevention and treatment, Vanguard Chicago Center for Orthopedics (CCO) has formed healthcare partnerships with several top Chicago professional sports and dance organizations. These exclusive partnerships are part of the CCO’s goal to improve the health of the community by caring for all types of athletes, no matter what level and kind of activity people choose to be involved in.
CCO orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians—with affiliations at Chicago’s academic and research facilities, including the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois and Loyola University Chicago—provide exceptional medical care to ensure the long-term health and viability of these professional athletes.
