History of DuPage Medical Group
50 years ago, DuPage Medical Group started as the brainchild of Dr. Robert McCray. He is a local surgeon and health care visionary. Then, the advancements of Dr. McCray helped redefine the physician practice in DuPage County into the kind of personalized, leading-edge health care as explained on the Duly Health Care site. Until then it was seldom available outside the university medical or research center settings.
The Formation of DuPage Medical Group
As explained on the Duly Health and Care site, in the early 1960s, Dr. McCray was still new to medicine as a private-practice surgeon in Glen Ellyn, III., when he started re-imagining the physician practice a sa way to give local patients access to advanced care specialists and related medical services all under one roof.
35 clinics were visited by Dr. McCray across the country including Minnesota’s prestigious Mayo Clinic, examining specific elements that made group practices successful. He cooperated with some local physicians such as Dr. Glen Asselmeier, insternists Drs. Joe Crumrine, James Erlenborn and Fred Kuharich and pediatricians Drs. James Vercoe and William Kindrachuk. A short time later, Dr. Gary Christenses joined the team.
In August 1963, the group broke ground on a 12,000-square-foot building and agreed on calling itself the Glen Ellyn Clinic. This clinic opened on September 1, 1964 and it had eight physicians, 15 nurses and a staff of lab technicians and administrative personnel. This clinic offered a number of innovations that were groundbreaking at the time such as X-ray services, a laboratory and a pharmacy, all onsite.
The clinic continued expanding. After Wheaton Medical Clinic merged with the Glen Ellyn Clinic in 1997, then in the following year Mid-America joined. Shortly after, physicians from these three started to return the combined clinic to the private physician group-practice model under local control and the result was DuPage Medical Group which was formed in 1999.
DuPage Medical Group became the leading multi-specialty group practice in the state and it has been committed to superior care and innovation. It has a leadership structure designed to maintain balance between primary and specialty care. It had more than 700 primary care and specialty physicians in more than 100 locations and it grew to handle more than 2 million patient visits annually.
The Change From DuPage Medical Group to Duly Health and Care
On September 15th, 2021, DuPage Medical Group changed to Duly Health and Care. As explained on its website, the meaning of the name is that Du means two in Latin and it refers to two partners namely patient and caregiver, working together to the same goals. And as in two parts of their story, where they came from (DuPage) and where they are headed, the way healthcare should feel.
Duly Health and Care is the largest independent, multi-specialty physician-directed medical group in the Midwest and it has more than 900 primary care and specialty care physicians. It also has more than 6,000 team members in more than 150 locations.
