Spotlight Friday! Dr. Jain and his team spent time volunteering at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville, helping pack meals for those in need.

"As physicians, we’re privileged to serve our patients every day — but our responsibility extends beyond the walls of the clinic. Giving back through community service reminds me why I became a doctor: to help people live fuller, healthier lives. It’s one of the most meaningful ways to stay connected to the community we care for." — Dr. Jain

💚 Thank you to Dr. Jain and the team for giving back!

All in support of Operation Rainbow, Inc., an organization providing free orthopedic surgeries that restore mobility and hope in underserved communities.

Grateful for everyone who made this night such a success. 💚
