BCDI is pleased to announce the opening of a new comprehensive care outreach clinic location in Downers Grove, Illinois, to expand access to specialized care for individuals with bleeding, blood clotting, and other blood disorders across the northeast corner of Illinois!

BCDI’s newest outreach location is at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in the Physician Office Center (3825 Highland Avenue- Suite 2D, Downers Grove, IL 60515). This new clinic aims to extend BCDI’s comprehensive care model closer to home for patients and families in the Downers Grove area. BCDI hosted its first outreach comprehensive care clinic at the Downers Grove location on May 13, 2026!

“This expansion represents a meaningful step forward in our mission to ensure that every individual has access to high quality, specialized care, no matter where they live,” said BCDI Chief Executive/Medical Officer Dr. Michael Tarantino. “By establishing a new presence in northern Illinois, BCDI is making it easier for patients to stay engaged in their care and maintain healthier, more active lives.”

BCDI strives to provide integrated, family-oriented care, treatment and education to every corner of Illinois, and establishing an outreach location in Downers Grove brings BCDI closer to nearly 10 million people throughout the northeast region of Illinois.

“Recent studies suggest that 30% of individuals living with hemophilia in Illinois do not receive care from a hemophilia treatment center,” Dr. Tarantino added. “The Downers Grove location gives individuals an opportunity to receive specialized care from the team of blood experts at BCDI. This is more than just a new location for BCDI, it’s about building stronger connections within the community. We look forward to working alongside healthcare organizations and providing valuable resources for patients, families, and caregivers throughout the region.”

With the addition of the Downers Grove location, BCDI now has eleven different comprehensive care outreach clinics throughout the state of Illinois: Arthur, Carbondale, Champaign, Decatur, Downers Grove, Macomb, Moline, Ottawa, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield.

During a typical comprehensive care visit, a patient sees a variety of expert caregivers including a hematologist, advanced practice provider, social worker, registered dietitian, physical therapist, phlebotomist, and more. This united approach helps patients learn how to live life to the fullest, regardless of their diagnosis, and leads to optimal long-term care of patients with bleeding and blood clotting disorders.
