Salt and Light DPC

We often get asked about our clinic name.

Our goal is to positively impact our community with good virtue, truth, and knowledge.

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭

It makes our day when we feel appreciated by our community 🥰.

If you're ever in need of a realtor, we can't say enough good things about Jessica Plummer Real Estate Team Sales & Staging, Land & Home Real Estate! She was crucial in helping us buy our clinic location.

As the school year kicks back off, so too does the viral season. As our children go back to school, they are exposed to others and spread viral illnesses. Viracid by Ortho Molecular Products is a great supplement to take when you feel an illness coming on. It helps your body fight the infection faster, allowing you to recover and continue your life.

Dr. Ben enjoys meeting and mentoring medical students. He is looking forward to getting the opportunity to mentor yet another medical student next semester!

At the DPC conference last month, Dr. Ben spoke with many medical students and residents to encourage them to pursue careers in DPC and make a meaningful difference in improving healthcare through patient-centered care.

Make sure to introduce yourself to our new medical student when you meet her, and tell her why you love DPC!

If you are out and about at the Illinois State Fair, there is an air-conditioned nursing station in the SIU Medicine first aid tent, sponsored by IDPH.

It is a HOT one this weekend, so make sure to stop by many of the air-conditioned buildings to stay cool!
