The DuPage Medical Group Charitable Fund is proud to be the recipient of DMK Burger’s 365 Days of Charity in October. Stop in their Lombard location (next to Dick’s Sporting Goods on Butterfield) and try one of their great burgers. The chef has created a special seasonal bison burger topped with butternut squash and a carrot/zucchini slaw. Order one October 25th – October 30th and proceeds for the $10 burger go to the DMG Charitable Fund.

Great burgers, beer and it all benefits charity!  Did I mention that they have 6 kinds of tasty fries?!?

On Saturday, October 15th staff from the Department of Urology sponsored the Men and Cancer Breakfast at the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center which is one of the initiatives of the DMG Charitable Fund. Volunteers graciously prepared egg casseroles; donated fruit, pastries, and juice for the breakfast; and got up early on Saturday to help set up, serve, and clean up.

LivingWell is a non-profit organization that provides free counseling and other support services to cancer patients and their families. Their main location is in Geneva, but they also counsel patients and family members at DMG’s Cancer Resource Center at our Ogden site. Once a month, men who have had cancer or who have helped a loved one live with cancer come together at breakfast to talk with each other, share stories and lend support.

The Department of Urology’s volunteerism was greatly appreciated by the men and the LivingWell staff.

The Executive Director, Nancy Vance, wrote “Please thank your wonderful team for doing such a great job at our Men and Cancer Breakfast last Saturday. Our participants were grateful for the delicious food and the warm and friendly company. Our staff and volunteers were also very grateful for the help!”

Jill Smallwood, a Program Director at LivingWell wrote “Just want to thank you and your DMG team for your help at the men’s breakfast this weekend. We got rave reviews on the food and the wonderful helpers from DMG!”

For more information about the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center you can visit their website at www.livingwellcrc.org or contact the DMG Charitable Fund Cancer Resource Volunteer, Tania Becke at (630) 297-1285 or Tania.Becke@dupagemd.com.

DuPage Medical Group (DMG) has signed an affiliation agreement with Rush University Medical Center to bring state-of-the-art cancer care to the western suburbs.   A three story, 95,000 square foot medical office consisting of two wings is being constructed in Lisle, IL; it will be owned by DMG. One wing will be dedicated to the outpatient diagnosis and treatment of cancer.  The other wing will be comprised of primary care, specialty, and advanced diagnostic services.  This new facility will be located at 430 Warrenville Road and be visible from the I-88 tollway. 

Cancer care delivered at this facility will feature an integrated approach that is centered on the patient.  Continuing with DMG’s initiatives to provide our patients with highest quality medical services, we will offer Clinical Care Teams that will provide personalized and coordinated care to produce the best patient outcomes.  A key member of the cancer care team, the Patient Navigator, will provide support and guidance for patients at every step on their road to recovery. 

This is an exciting opportunity for all of our patients.  We will keep you updated as construction nears completion in late 2012.

DuPage Medical Group physician James Nikoleit, M.D. was recently appointed Vice Chairman of the Governance Board at Shriners Hospital for Children, a charitable organization taking patients regardless of their ability to pay. Along with providing medical care, the hospital’s mission is to research medical conditions and to educate medical professionals.  As the world’s largest specialty hospital system and known as the “World’s Greatest Philanthropy,” Shriners Hospital for Children has no requirement for religion, race, or relation to a Shriner.

Dr. Nikoleit also voluntarily serves as Chairman of the Performance Committee, Vice Chairman of the Development Committee, Vice Chairman of the Admissions Committee, and Member of the Revenue Cycle Committee at the hospital. He attends monthly meetings to help make decisions necessary to run Shriners Hospital for Children. 

Dr. Nikoleit practices out of DuPage Medical Group’s Internal Medicine department in Lombard. To make an appointment with Dr. Nikoleit, please call 630-627-4722. If you would like to learn more about the Shriners Hospital for Children, please visit http://www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/.
