‘House Calls’ comes to Lake Forest
The Women’s Health Advisory Council will host its signature event, “House Calls,” bringing to the community an intimate night of discussion on a broad range of health care topics.
Five physician presenters will offer advice and provide a unique view into the health care industry.
The event is Saturday, April 16, at 300 N. Green Bay Road in Lake Forest. Participants will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while partaking in a lively panel discussion with the featured physicians, including a question-and-answer session.
Each guest will also choose one pertinent small-group discussion to attend, where there will be even more opportunity for conversation with the doctors.
“House Calls brings community members and their doctors closer together,” event Co-chairwoman Krina Huddlestun said in a news release. “Where else can you enjoy a meal with your local physicians and talk and ask questions outside of the structured setting of a medical office?”
The event originated as a way to give the public access to Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital physicians in a setting that fosters informal discussion on health care and overall wellness. The event has expanded to incorporate several clinical partners of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.
The discussion topics vary from year to year. This year’s topics include:
ŸAcute Stroke: Warning Signs and Advancements in Treatment, Michael Peters, MD
ŸMetabolic Health to Prevent Heart Disease and Diabetes: What We’ve Learned that Can Make a Difference, Neil Stone, MD
ŸSupportive Oncology: Enhancing Wellness, Dignity and Survivorship, Steven Rosen, MD
ŸUnderstanding Palliative Care: Relief and Support for Aging Parents and Their Families, Martha Twaddle, MD
ŸAsk Your Pediatrician, Michael Bauer, MD
The array of small group topics was chosen to suit the interests of all attendees.
The Women’s Health Advisory Council is a volunteer board composed of women from the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital community. Its mission is to promote the importance of health issues through educational events and activities.
Event tickets are $110 per person or $800 per table. Those interested in attending must RSVP to the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Office of Philanthropy by phone at (847) 535-6111 or online at lfh.org/philanthropy.
