Terry Reilly Logo
Terry Reilly Logo
New Terry Reilly Look Reflects Increased Diversity


     New logo: Terry Reilly’s Board of Directors voted at its January meeting to accept a new logo for the 38 year old organization.  Jeremy Billups, a graphic design student at Boise State University, created the new logo.  The Terry Reilly Board of Directors selected the logo from several options to have broader appeal to all the consumers of Terry Reilly services.


     Farming Roots:  The new logo clearly shows the agricultural roots, not only of our area but of the clinic system.  From his modest home on the north side of the tracks in Nampa, Terry Reilly, a young newly-wed from Boise, tutored low-income children of farm workers in the early 1970s. 


     Besides their needs to speak and read English better, Terry and his wife Rosie found the children lacked medical care.  After recruiting a volunteer physician, Terry went on to build community support for a grant application to start a medical clinic.  From that modest start began the clinic system that has since grown to serve over 30,000 persons a year. 


     Founder’s Key Role:  With the roots of the tree literally spreading over the name Terry Reilly, the logo demonstrates the key role played by its founder.  From Terry’s vision and hard work, grew a strong and healthy organization.  After Terry died in a small plane crash in 1986, the Board of Directors renamed the clinic system in his honor. 


     In response to staff concerns about the length of our name, especially when combined with our different service sites, the Board of Directors decided in 2009 to shorten the daily (but not legal) name of the organization to Terry Reilly from Terry Reilly Health Services.


     Branching Out:  In the 1970s and 1980s Terry Reilly went far beyond the usual family doctor’s office in providing nutrition, social work, counseling for abused children, and even limited dental care.  The last two decades, however, the clinic system added primary dental clinics, as well as behavioral health to its array of services. 


     The three divisions of Terry Reilly – medical, dental, and behavioral health - are symbolized by the golden hearts on the logo’s encompassing tree branches.  The heart is a symbol of the compassion our staff members demonstrate in their healing work, as well as our commitment to social justice.  The tree also symbolizes the key role that fruit and vegetables play in our health.


     Original logo’s history: Our previous logo, which was based on a Mayan motif, was designed by John Delgadillo, Rosie Delgadillo Reilly’s father.  The logo represents the healer’s “laying on of the hands” and is an important and valued part of the Terry Reilly culture and history.  The logo will be retained and utilized in select situations.
