A Chicago Muslim doctor, who has spent more time running his restaurant than practicing medicine plans to open the first outpatient surgery center in Illinois that will follow Islamic law.
Chicago Business Dr. Naser Rustom, who opened the Middle Eastern eatery, Alhambra Palace in 2007, has in mind a venture with a much more religious flavor. He proposes to establish a $5.5 million medical facility in southwest suburban Orland Park that would cater to Muslims, including space for prayer and ritual washing and partitions for enhanced patient privacy.
The proposal reflects how more businesses are looking to tap into the growing population of Arab-Americans and Muslims, offering products ranging from home mortgages to meat that satisfy religious standards.
