WINFIELD – The parent company of Delnor Hospital may add a west suburban orthopedic medicine group as an affiliate.

Friday, Cadence Health, the organization that resulted from the merger of the Delnor and Central DuPage health systems, announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire OAD Orthopaedics, a medical practice operating orthopedic medicine offices in seven communities, mostly in DuPage County.

The doctors operating at OAD, including specialists focusing on the spine, joints, limbs and sports medicine, had medical staff privileges at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield before the acquisition by Cadence.
