Ultimately, DuPage strives to offer an inde-

And that solution is built upon a physician-
centric model in which the physicians trust
each other. Mr. Kasper cautioned against
models that pit physicians against each other,

while also doing good in the community by
delivering world-class care.
"You can do good and do well; they are not
mutually exclusive," said Mr. Kasper. n
