Edward Hospital expanded into Plainfield in 2006 when it built an immediate care facility on 127th Street. Since then, an outpatient surgery, cancer center, medical building and 24 hour Emergency Room have been added. Because it's affiliated with Edward Hospital in Naperville, patients can also access all of the other services the hospital offers. Spokesman Keith Hartenberger says that Plainfield greatly complements Edward Hospital in that residents want access to quality medical care. Subsequently, the facility offers services such as outpatient surgery and cancer care that residents would otherwise have to leave town to obtain.
