Speed process of choosing doctors in Huntley
Submitted by Centegra Health System
Centegra Health System will host its second speed-dating event Thursday, Jan. 19, so members of the community can interview potential Centegra Physician Care doctors. Two sessions will be conducted at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center-Huntley. The first session takes place from 11:30 a.m. to noon and the second session is scheduled for 12:30 to 1 p.m. The entire event is free. A boxed lunch will be available at noon for registered attendees. To register for the event, call (877) CENTEGRA.
Physicians of internal medicine, rheumatology, endocrinology, counseling and chiropractic care will be available to answer questions about their philosophy, operations and personal interests. Each participant will have a three-minute time slot with each of the physicians available that day. Registrants may only sign up for one session.
Physicians attending include Dr. Anjali Gopal, rheumatologist; Dr. Achal Ahmed, endocrinologist; Dr. Jared Ko, internal medicine; Dr. Debbie Yu-Tungol, internal medicine; Dr. Renata Osadnik, internal medicine; Randy David, chiropractor; and Kelly Bauman, counselor
Speed dating is a formalized process in which people are encouraged to meet others. Each participant will have three minutes with each of the seven providers scheduled to participate. Cards will be given to each attendee with a basic description of each provider and his or her table number with an area available for notes. It’s a unique, fun and non-stressful way community members can find a new physician for themselves and their families.
“The first speed dating event was so popular, we’re excited to offer the program again. Primary care medicine is very much about the relationship between the patient and the physician, so this is a great opportunity for someone to meet their potential doctor,” said Dr. Pasquale Bernardi, vice president of Centegra Physician Care. “The community members will get to experience that the doctors here are passionate, caring and want to connect with their patients.”
Centegra Health System is committed to meeting the health care needs of the residents of greater McHenry County and to making services available in multiple and convenient locations, including hospitals in McHenry and Woodstock, Immediate and Physician Care Centers, Centegra Sage Cancer Center, Health Bridge Fitness Centers and more.
