The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. honored with BBB Torch Award for Ethics
The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. announced that it has been named the recipient of the 2009 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. The award was presented Dec. 3 at the 13th Annual BBB Awards Luncheon Ceremony at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza Hotel in Chicago.
“It is a great honor to be recognized in this manner by the BBB, whose name has long been synonymous with the highest standards of ethical conduct in business,” said Dan Goodwin, chairman and chief executive officer of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc. “The BBB states that trust is born where integrity and performance meet, and that principle is the foundation that has supported Inland over more than 40 years in business.”
According to the BBB, Torch Award honorees are companies that exemplify ethical business practices. Companies are judged by an independent panel in five categories based on number of employees. With more than 1,800 nominees for 2009, competition for the award was at the highest level in its 13-year history. There are more than 7,000 accredited member businesses in the Chicago and Northern Illinois chapter.
Earlier this year, The Inland Real Estate Group earned the BBB’s highest ranking, an “A+.” A BBB member since 1973, Inland received top marks across all categories.

Edward Plainfield Cancer Center Construction Complete, All Services Now Available
Construction is complete, both floors are open and all services are available at the new $18 million, 30,000 square foot Edward Plainfield Cancer Center, located on the Edward Plainfield campus at 127th St. and Van Dyke Rd., providing residents with convenient access to the region’s most preferred cancer care.
The new center offers the same personal and comprehensive outpatient medical and radiation oncology services as the Edward Cancer Center in Naperville, including the same physicians, leading-edge cancer research and the latest technologies that attack cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue.
“This is state-of-the-art cancer care that’s convenient and closer to home,” says Pam Davis, president and CEO, Edward Hospital. “It’s our latest step in providing access to high quality healthcare for the people of Plainfield and surrounding communities.”
Radiation oncology, on the first floor of the Plainfield facility, opened in early December and has the capability to deliver the most sophisticated and precise radiation treatment options available to target and eradicate tumors, including image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) delivered by the Varian IX linear accelerator.
Medical oncology, on the 2nd floor, has been providing services since September, including chemotherapy, clinical trial enrollment and treatment support.
“The cancer care in Plainfield is what you would expect to receive at a teaching hospital, just like the services offered at our Naperville facility,” says Alexander Hantel, MD, director of medical oncology, Edward Cancer Center. “Patients have access to the most advanced and highest quality medical and radiation therapies available. The fact that it’s close to home for them is one less thing to worry about during a very stressful period of their lives.”
The Edward Plainfield Cancer Center also features an eco-friendly rooftop garden designed to assist in treatment and healing. The garden is visible and accessible to patients in the medical oncology area on the 2nd floor and features a waterfall, a variety of trees and plants, a putting green and a trellis overhang to provide shade.
Edward is most preferred for cancer care in its total service area according to a 2009 survey by the National Research Corporation and has received full approval from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. Edward also has one of the most active clinical trials programs in the area outside of a university setting and has the most active cancer research program in DuPage County.
