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.

Due to the snow and low overnight temps, I am concerned about icy trail conditions tomorrow, so I will try to post about our walk topic for this month, reviewing Seasonal Affective Disorder, and we can all find ways to get in some exercise safely at home!

We had a great walk yesterday, as many brave souls chose to come out in spite of the cold for our December walk. We talked about Winter Fitness, and hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can get back out there in January!

What do you think?
Is it okay to play Christmas music in the office on the day before Thanksgiving?
Yes or No?

With Small Business Saturday approaching, I'd love to know your favorite local businesses to support (not just retail). My office, The Doctor Is In, is an independently owned primary care office that allows me to work directly for my patients, providing affordable and accessible care. (And for small business owners looking for healthcare options for their employees, I waive the registration fee for small businesses).

At yesterday's Walk with a Doc, we not only learned about stretching and got in a good walk, but we also got to enjoy nature, including spotting this beaver activity, which we discussed with one of our young walkers.

I'm so glad the forecast changed, and it looks like we'll have dry weather for today's Walk with a Doc! It is still going to be a little cool at 10 AM, so dress accordingly.

Today at the EMPOWER conference hosted by the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, I got to meet fabulous fellow area businesswoman and Minooka native, Sarah Delanie from Farmers Insurance, along with a lot of other awesome area women. Many thanks to the Chamber and the event's sponsors for a great opportunity to connect area business leaders.

Do you love candy corn? Or do you think it is like eating crayons? I think candy corn is cute, but you won't catch me eating any!

Did you know doctors make terrible patients? I was rather behind on scheduling my first mammogram, but this is definitely a better late than never situation!
