Palos Community Hospital will remain independent. The systems will provide complementary services and share an EHR to enhance coordination and reduce duplicative services.

The affiliation will also provide Loyola University Medical Center residents with additional training and educational opportunities and in the future, could make way for expanded outpatient services in the southwest Chicago suburbs, according to a statement.

The affiliation is effective immediately.
