Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Adult and Teen Down Syndrome Center

The Adult Down Syndrome Center is a comprehensive medical resource providing multidisciplinary medical and psychosocial care for adults with Down syndrome, with an emphasis on health promotion.


Visits to the Down Syndrome Center


Prior to an initial visit, a health questionnaire and a release of information form will be sent to the caregiver to establish previous medical history.


During a visit to the Center a thorough physical examination is performed and a complete medical history taken by the physicians or nurse practitioner who specializes in the care of adults with Down syndrome. Each patient visits with a social worker. Laboratory tests will be performed in the Center. X-rays, hearing, nutrition and consultations with specialists can be arranged. A comprehensive summary report is later mailed.

  • Physicians and nurse practitioner who provide medical services

  • Patient representative who schedules appointments and provides reception services

  • Certified medical assistant who assists with medical care
