Local healthcare landscape in Chicago Heights
The city's 2014 existing conditions report says Franciscan St. James Health Hospital serves the Chicago Heights community from 1423 Chicago Road and describes it as a full service, teaching hospital. The same report places Aunt Martha's Chicago Heights Community Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center, on Vincennes Avenue, one block south of the hospital, offering primary health and dental care, mental health counseling, child welfare and youth development services. The city's comprehensive plan, adopted May 4, 2015, names its wards as Beacon Hill, Hungry Hill, East Side, Country Club, West End, North End and Roosevelt. The city's history page also refers to the East Side and Hill neighborhoods, where Italian, Polish, Slovak, Lithuanian, Irish and African American workers poured in to be close to the heavy industries.

What we'd prioritize for a Chicago Heights practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
Room to stand out for dermatologists
No NPI-registered dermatologists list a practice address in Chicago Heights (nationally there is one for every 17,857 residents). That leaves fewer local competitors for a dermatologist in search; see our marketing for dermatologists.
Hold on to existing patients
Chicago Heights had 972 fewer residents in July 2025 than in April 2020 (−3.5%). With fewer newcomers, patient texting comes first, so existing patients keep coming back.
Reviews and your Google Business Profile first
One NPI-registered dentist per 884 residents in Chicago Heights (US: one per 1,340). The Google Business Profile comes first, then review management.
Insurance and payment options first
Median household income $54,798 (US $80,734). We would list plans accepted and financing options on every page of the website.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner. They are also kind, flexible and seem to care about my business and success which is important to me as a new small business owner. Looking forward to growing with them!
