The cost of colonoscopies, MRIs, CT scans and mammograms can shift a lot from place to place.
On average, the costs of common health care tests such as a mammogram or MRIs in Cook County compare well to Illinois state averages. For example, a colonoscopy in Cook County costs about $1,050 less than state averages. However, the cost of the procedure can vary greatly within the county from a low of $1,940 to a high of $9,790. That's according to data from New Choice Health, a private company that encourages people to become smarter healthcare consumers.

The maximum cost of a CT Scan was $5,960 with a minimum of $1,670 in Cook County. These big regional …

Want to see who sold their home in Cook County? Patch has compiled a searchable ongoing list of property sales in Cook County, based on data from the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
Want to know how much that house down the block sold for or how many million dollar home sales there were in your community last year?

John L. Wilson, Jr., the man charged with the murder of a Lyons Township teen, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. At his arraignment Wednesday morning, Wilson's attorney made a third petition to have Wilson remanded to the custody of the Cook County Sheriff's Office. Wilson is currently being held at the Pontiac Correctional Facility, located about 100 miles south of Chicago on I-55. His attorney, Naperville-based John Paul Carroll, said the distance to the correctional facility and the procedures that must be followed, make it difficult for him to talk to his client. "It is very difficult for me to mount a defense in this case," Carroll said in court Wednesday. "I have never experienced representing a person charged with …
