Downers Grove, Illinois-based DuPage Medical Group has acquired a $1.45 billion investment from private equity firm Ares Management, which will fund continued expansion by what it is already Illinois’ largest independent physicians group.
The Chicago Tribune reports the group will use the money to grow from 1,200 to 1,500 physicians, expand imaging, immediate care, physical therapy and oncology services and potentially add practices beyond Illinois’ borders.
