DCMS to Close
The Board of Directors debated the future of the medical society at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, October 8th. After much discussion, the Board unanimously agreed to dissolve the DuPage County Medical Society by December 31, 2025, and to explore options for DuPage County physicians to continue the DCMS legacy of representation, advocacy, and collaboration on a voluntary basis.Despite many years of significant effort, the Society could not reverse the downward membership trend. The Board determined that the best use of time and resources was to focus on other organizations such as the Illinois State Medical Society, the American Medical Association and specialty societies. At this critical time, organized medicine is needed now more than ever.
Founded in 1918, the DuPage County Medical Society provided support, knowledge, education, and public health advocacy for local physicians and their patients. Those needs are met now through other means.
Members can be justifiably proud of our Society's many accomplishments. Your involvement has made a meaningful impact in DuPage County, Illinois, and nationally.
Thank you for your membership! We encourage you to stay involved with organized medicine by engaging with the Illinois State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, or your specialty societies to continue advocating for our profession and community.
