Specialties included: Cardiology, Vascular Surgery, Diabetes Care, Pulmonary Medicine, Sleep Medicine, Asthma & Allergy, Psychology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Audiology, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Gastroenterology, Urology, Physical Therapy, Rheumatology, Orthopaedics, Podiatry, Radiology, Breast & Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetics, Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, and Plastic Surgery.
In addition to all the information at the above booths, we offered physician presentations on: Preventing Heart Disease in Women; Understanding Menopause; Taking Steps to Avoid Osteoporosis; Recognizing and Understanding Anxiety and Depression; and Diabetes and You. Tours of our Glen Ellyn medical building were also included. There was ample opportunity to speak to a physician or a health care staff regarding your questions. A children’s area offered fun activities such as pumpkin decorating, balloon hats, face painting, and a magician that also entertained the adults.
Community Partners included Access DuPage; American Cancer Society; American Heart Association; DuPage County Health Department; Family Shelter Services; and Teen Parent Connection. McChesney & Miller and Trader Joes generously provided food and beverages.
