Mike has defined a clear strategy for DMG's growth and is following through on its achievement. As a result, a staggering 15.4 million prescriptions have been transmitted since the program's inception six years ago, and DMG has seen more than 175,000 appointments scheduled by its patients online.

Under his strategic guidance and leadership, DMG launched an entire telemedicine patient service program, including e-visits, video visits and e-prescribing. Kasper also has an impressive track record of bringing innovation to health care. The service and business footprint of DMG has also expanded geographically to the southern region of Chicago's suburbs. To put things in perspective, DMG has grown from 290 physicians at the end of 2010 to well over 600-plus physicians today. Since assuming his role as CEO of DuPage Medical Group in 2010, the group has experienced a sizable increase in new physician and patient growth. Michael Kasper CEO, DuPage Medical Group, Downers Grove Nominated by Maria McGowan, DuPage Medical Group 'Schools, churches, the Chamber of Commerce, Oak Lawn Park District, Oak Lawn Public Library, Advocate Christ Medical Center, and every civic and community group including the VFW, Rotary, Kiwanis, and Park Lawn are in this together,' he said.

He will be the first to say that there is much room for improvement, however, he is quick to add that the key to enhancing the overall quality of life in Oak Lawn for residents, businesses, and visitors is a team effort. And now they have a beautiful monument that contains four beams from the World Trade Center Towers that came down on 9/11/01.

Many people helped with this project, but Deetjan was a driving force to make it happen by helping to secure donations (both monetary and in-kind). At the time, he was the president of the Oak Lawn Rotary Club. Deetjan also helped create a 9/11 monument in Oak Lawn to honor first responders. He has been instrumental in the 111th and Cicero redevelopment project, helping Oak Lawn to attract such names as Mariano's and Cooper's Hawk. Larry Deetjan is at the forefront trying to solve a myriad issues and in doing so, invites key stakeholders to the table to be part of the discussion and solution. Larry Deetjan Village manager, village of Oak Lawn Nominated by: Adam Woodworth from the Children's Museum of Oak Lawn
