As part of the Duly orga­ni­za­tion, we will invest in the expan­sion of health offer­ings, advance­ment of inno­va­tion, and deliv­ery of the best care for our patients. This new part­ner­ship comes at the right time for our physi­cians and team mem­bers, and it is the right thing to do for the com­mu­ni­ties we serve.”

Duly Health and Care is build­ing a new kind of health­care orga­ni­za­tion that sup­ports physi­cian own­er­ship, direc­tion, and clin­i­cal deci­sion mak­ing while strate­gi­cal­ly invest­ing in tech­nol­o­gy that enables inno­va­tion; all with a relent­less dri­ve to help physi­cians care for patients in the best ways possible.

QMG Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer Car­ol Brock­miller said, ​“As part of the Duly fam­i­ly, we look for­ward to chal­leng­ing the expect­ed because our region deserves extra­or­di­nary health­care. Our physi­cians and team mem­bers are join­ing a mighty force in healthcare’s future.”

Duly is led by Nel­son and Dr. Paul Mer­rick, its Clin­i­cal Board Chair­man. Brock­miller will remain CEO of Quin­cy Med­ical Group and will join the Duly’s Senior Man­age­ment Team. Dr. Todd Pet­ty remains Chair­man of QMG’s Board of Man­agers, which will con­tin­ue to over­see physi­cian recruit­ment and reten­tion, qual­i­ty of care, and clin­i­cal best prac­tices. By lever­ag­ing shared capa­bil­i­ties and infra­struc­ture, a con­sis­tent and dis­tinc­tive patient expe­ri­ence will be built across the Duly and QMG organizations.

Dr. Mer­rick con­clud­ed, ​“From QMG’s estab­lished foun­da­tion and proven suc­cess, we will work togeth­er to cre­ate unri­valed patient expe­ri­ence while work­ing to raise the stan­dard for qual­i­ty, physi­cian-direct­ed care.”
