"House Calls" Provides Health Care Topic Discussion

The Women’s Health Advisory Council will host its signature event, “House Calls,” a discussion on a broad range of healthcare topics featuring five physician presenters, at 6:30 p.m. April 16 at 300 N. Green Bay Road in Lake Forest.

Event tickets are $110 per person or $800 per table. RSVP to the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Office of Philanthropy either by phone at (847) 535-6111 or online at lfh.org/philanthropy

Participants will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeurves 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.

The discussion topics include:

• Acute Stroke: Warning Signs and Advancements in Treatment, Dr. Michael Peters
• Metabolic Health to Prevent Heart Disease and Diabetes: What We've Learned that Can Make a Difference, Dr Neil Stone
• Supportive Oncology: Enhancing Wellness, Dignity and Survivorship, Dr. Steven Rosen
• Understanding Palliative Care: Relief and Support for Aging Parents and Their Families, Dr. Martha Twaddle
• Ask Your Pediatrician, Michael Bauer, MD

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 healthcare and overall wellness. The event has expanded to incorporate several clinical partners of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.
