Senior Education Ministries, Inc. in partnership with Coles County Council on Aging’s LifeSpan Center has scheduled: Dine with a Doc ® on the 3rd Friday of every month from 11a-1p at the LifeSpan Center 11021 E. Co. Rd. 800N Charleston, IL 61920 Phone: 217-639-5150
The February Dine with a Doc® is scheduled for FEBRUARY 14, 2018. Dine with a Doc® is a FREE program that welcomes the local senior public
to getting to hear an educational topic while enjoying a complimentary lunch. No need to bring any money! Just bring a questioning mind, an appetite and perhaps
a friend.
Each doctor has graciously donated this time in effort to listen, hear, and answer your medical questions while sharing a meal with you. Various community businesses also participate by donating door prizes or providing complimentary lunch for you to enjoy and learn about ways they may help you as well. The Dine with a Doc® program was designed to allow the seniors to get out of their homes, fellowship with their peers, extend their available financial resources, promote enhanced living, and educate them (from a preventative standpoint) with the goal of improving their quality of life and providing them with the resources and information to make an informed choice about their healthcare.
This month we welcome Sherri Wood FNP Sherri Wood Has worked as the Regional Clinical Director with Meridian Senior Living for about the last 6 years. Prior to that Sherri worked at a hospital for 25 + years, specializing in geriatrics and wound care. She also developed a Wellness Management Program for Medicare patients to assist them in their health care needs. Sherri has been a Registered Nurse for 30 + years and a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner for 10 years. Sherri lives south of Effingham with her dog and cat.
