DuPage Medical Group Rebrands As Duly Health And Care

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — DuPage Medical Group has rebranded itself to be called Duly Health and Care, the health care system said in a news release. The shift comes roughly two weeks after the medical group announced plans to partner with Quincy Medical Group, a physician-owned organization with 18 locations.

Thus, the new name aims to reflect the health care system's "continued growth and evolution," along with its mission to foster more patient-centered care, the news release said.

“From our very begin­ning, we have been on a mis­sion to deliv­er excep­tion­al care expe­ri­ences and health out­comes by focus­ing on the rela­tion­ship between indi­vid­u­als and their physi­cians and care teams,” said Dr. Paul Mer­rick, who is co-chair­man of the board, founder and Chief Physi­cian Exec­u­tive.

Merrick added, “We are com­mit­ted to our belief that health isn’t just the absence of sick­ness, but an ongo­ing pur­suit of every person’s extra­or­di­nary potential.”

"Duly is much more than a name – it’s a promise to prac­tice health and care as intend­ed. The word ‘duly’ means doing things prop­er­ly, with care, at the right time,"Co-Chair­man of the Board and Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer, said in a statement.

Nelson went on, "That’s the com­mit­ment we make every day to each oth­er and to the com­mu­ni­ties we serve.”

The rebranding also comes less than a month after DuPage Medical Group revealed it had experienced a data breach that may have compromised the personal information of as many as 600,000 patients.
