As founder and CEO of Hansa Medical Groupe, Dr. Chirag Patel has built the largest senior living primary care network in the Midwest, that exclusively provides on-site medical services across more than 150 communities in seven states. His innovative model integrates Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Pain Management directly within Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care settings—offering residents compassionate, coordinated care without ever having to leave home.
Dr. Patel’s forward-thinking approach has redefined health care delivery in senior living, blending clinical excellence with convenience, empathy, and trust. By emphasizing prevention, communication, and continuity, Hansa Medical Groupe has reduced emergency visits and hospitalizations by nearly 60 percent in the communities it serves—improving outcomes and quality of life for thousands of residents. “Our goal is simple,” he says. “To help seniors live longer, healthier lives with dignity and independence.”
Inspired by the dedication of nurses, caregivers, and community staff, Dr. Patel continues to champion collaboration and innovation at every level. His leadership extends beyond medicine—advocating for the senior living industry on Capitol Hill, partnering with national operators and investors, and helping shape a sustainable, patient-first model for the future of elder care nationwide.
Hansa Medical Groupe is located at 5250 Old Orchard Road, Suite 300, in Skokie, and 405 North Wabash, Suite 4710, in Chicago, 847-920-0902, hansamg.com.
