Foot Care
Do you have questions for a Podiatrist? A doctor with the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association will be on hand to check feet, answer questions and provide educational literature.
Hearing Loss Screening
We will be offering Hearing Loss Screenings to all interested parties 18 years of age or older in partnership with the Palatine Lions Club. Take a few minutes to stop by to protect your hearing through this early alert system test.
In collaboration with the Palatine Lions Club and Illinois Retina Associates, S.C., pictures will be taken of the eyes of participants 18 years of age and older (10-17 with written parental consent) to check for retinal diseases, including macular degeneration. Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindnes in adults in America today. Early detection greatly enhances the visual prognosis and outcome for patients with all retinal diseases. This screening could save you a lifetine of darkness.

They will also provide information about entitlement programs for health insurance and prescription drug coverage and the new Medicare Preventative Services.
