Dine With A Doc

Dine With A Doc Dine with a Doc® is a FREE educational COMMUNITY BASED educational program where senior citizens get a free lunch and listen to a doctor talk.

Dine with a Doc® program is a FREE educational COMMUNITY BASED program that allows seniors an opportunity to enjoy the information brought to them from a local physician at a congregate meal setting. 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 ensuring their quality of life and providing them with the resources and information to make an informed choice about their healthcare.In the Dine With A Doc® program , a free lunch is provided to the seniors while a Doctor speaks concerning topics of
concern to the senior population . At the conclusion of the doctor presentation seniors are invited to ask questions
about the material presented or any other topic for which they have concerns. Doctors donate their time to do the
presentation and stay until Dine with a Doc ® is finished to answer questions free of charge. Those attending feel as
though they have just received a free doctor visit. (At times, as seniors request , doctors other than medical doctors
present, i.e. dentists, veterinarians, chiropractors, psychologists, etc.) Local provider agencies and businesses serve the seniors through this program in two ways, 1) as lunch sponsor (who in exchange for providing the free lunch are allowed 20-30 minutes to share information about their business and the services they provide), and 2)aka "mini -commercial"(a business who talks 1-3minutesin exchange for providing a door prize for the seniors to win.

The Dine with a Doc program in Effingham has a SUPER HERO!!!! That's right...Jalen Carrillo from Hilltop Nursing and Rehab sprung into action revealing his SUPER POWER of SAVING A LIFE with his Heimlich Maneuver to rescue someone choking! If Jalen didn't perform the heimlich maneuver, I'm afraid that we would have had a very difficult situation here in Effingham.
All is well. Paramedics arrived to do a full evaluation within 10 minutes.

Seniors enjoyed a talk from presenter Becky Doiron (Alzheimers Association) and a complimentary lunch courtesy of one our 2023 Key Supporters ( SARAH BUSH LINCOLN)

"I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her.

She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother's daughter. She had always wondered when she would grow up and be an old woman.

She said she watched her body age and her faculties dull but the person she is inside never got tired. She never aged. She never changed.

Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."
