Illinois-based DuPage Medical Group and The South Bend Clinic are partnering to further develop and expand on their multi-specialty clinical care. The groups say they will create a hub for regional expansion that will increase access to affordable care, while deepening investment in local services and programs in Indiana and Illinois.

The partnership marks DuPage Medical Group’s first collaboration across state lines.

“This first-of-its-kind agreement will allow us to serve more patients and communities and address their needs by delivering the most progressive care possible,” said Steve Nelson, chief executive officer of DuPage Medical Group. “Our partnership with The South Bend Clinic builds on our purpose-driven vision to transform healthcare by creating new pipelines for collaboration that empowers our physicians and associates to reimagine the delivery of care.”

DuPage Medical Group and The South Bend Clinic say they will invest in infrastructure and technology and expand in-network capabilities.

“We are excited about this transformative opportunity to partner with DuPage Medical Group to evolve and expand as an independent physician group and further our mission to provide high quality and affordable care options for our community,” said Kelly Macken-Marble, CEO of The South Bend Clinic. “Together, we will drive increased collaboration and coordination that enhances the patient experience and helps ensure continued success and professional growth for our physicians and staff.”

DuPage Medical Group will continue to be led by Steve Nelson as CEO and Dr. Paul Merrick as clinical board chair. Kelly Macken-Marble will remain CEO of The South Bend Clinic and will join the DuPage Medical Group’s Senior Management Team as regional CEO. Dr. Brad Scott, chair of The South Bend Clinical Board, will continue in his role.
