About Us
As of July 1, 2023, what was once the Private Diagnostic Clinic became Duke Health Integrated Practice and part of the Duke University Health System.
In April 2022, DHIP physician members voted to endorse a motion to co-create a new Duke Health Integrated Practice (DHIP) within Duke University Health System, after operating as a separate, for-profit partnership company since its inception nearly a century ago.
The Duke Health Integrated Practice (DHIP) is a new clinical practice model that exists within DUHS. Physician members will become employees of this new, physician-led entity, and will integrate the most effective aspects of both organizations. DHIP also places special emphasis on including principles of diversity, equity and inclusion into a culture that thrives and puts its people first.
Through DHIP, Duke Health are more strategically aligned and better equipped to improve access and grow while being able to recruit and retain the top providers and staff both now and long into the future.
