SJH Derm is a physician-driven and employee-owned group of community-based dermatology practices focusing on medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology in the Chicagoland area. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Shelley J. Halper, a board-certified dermatologist with a longstanding presence in the La Grange community, SJH Derm aims to uphold exceptional dermatological care through meaningful doctor-patient relationships.
Dr. Halper's decision to establish SJH Derm stemmed from her observation of colleagues selling their practices to private equity-backed groups, leading her to seek an alternative that would ensure uninterrupted care for patients and secure job opportunities for her colleagues and staff. The company's employee-owned structure reflects a commitment to sharing the benefits of hard work and dedication to patients and community.
With a focus on Health Care, Health and Wellness, and Wellness Beauty industries, SJH Derm embodies a unique approach to healthcare, prioritizing patient health and care. The company's emphasis on preserving doctor-patient relationships and providing job security sets it apart in an industry undergoing significant change.
