It is a beautiful, brisk fall morning for our walk today! I prefer the cloudless fall days, but at least it isn’t supposed to rain until after our walk.

Join us this Saturday, Nov. 8th for our November Walk with a Doc. We'll be talking about Holiday Grief as we get ready for a lot of upcoming holidays. While the weather is taking a turn for the colder, there are many benefits to exercise in cold weather! Just remember to dress for the colder temps. The talk starts at 10 AM. The link to the event is in the comments below.

I was so excited this week to get my gorgeous new name tags! Handmade in the USA by Atomic Lucite, these custom name tags mean I won't ever have to get my hair caught on sticker name tags again! They'll get their first use next week at the Empower event and all future Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry events.

I wasn't in the office today, but I was very excited to celebrate the first National DPC Day from home! In these times of rising healthcare costs, it was great to see posts from all my fellow DPC docs around the country who are working to make medical care affordable! If you have questions about Direct Primary Care, please reach out. (Our monthly Walk with a Doc is Saturday, November 8th, if you wanted to ask questions in person).

I was at my alma mater Rush University Medical Center yesterday, and I was excited to see they have a Hands-only CPR training kiosk! I learned about these kiosks when preparing for our September Walk with a Doc, so it was cool to see one in real life. According to the map, there are also ones at Midway Airport, Lurie Children's Hospital, and University of Chicago Medicine. If you get the chance to use one at these locations, it is a great way to spend a few minutes that could be invaluable in the future. In the meantime, I will post the AHA's site about Hands-only CPR below, which has some helpful videos.

Car seat safety is very important, and I love that the Minooka Fire Department is helping the community with this!

Saturday, September 27th is National Car Seat Day.
Stop by the Minooka Police Department from 10am-noon for a free Child Safety Seat Check!
Get there early, the first 25 kids to have their seats checked, get a free ice cream cone from the Minooka Creamery.
