OLYMPIA FIELDS, Illinois - After more than 18 months, the spine corridor at the Olympia Fields campus is set to reopen for thru traffic on Monday, April 9, 2018. The reopening is planned as the outpatient (west) entrance of the campus is scheduled to close on the same date to begin construction that will transform it into the new main entrance of the Olympia Fields hospital.
