Dine With A Doc®

Senior Education Ministries, Inc. has scheduled Dine with a Doc®- Greencastle: the 4 th Monday of every month from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. to take place at the Putnam County Hospital located at 1542 S. Bloomington St. Greencastle, Indiana.

Dine with a Doc® is a FREE community-based program that welcomes the local senior public to get to hear an educational topic while enjoying a complimentary lunch.

This program is a community effort of a doctor, a lunch sponsor, the senior citizens, local churches and area businesses coming together for the good of all to serve the senior citizens.

Each doctor has graciously donated this time in effort to listen, hear, and answer your medical questions while sharing a meal with you. Various community businesses also participate by donating door prizes or providing complimentary lunch for you to enjoy and learn about ways they may help you as well.

The Dine with a Doc® program was designed to allow the seniors to get out of their homes, fellowship with their peers, extend their available financial resources, promote enhanced living, and educate them (from a preventative standpoint) with the goal of improving their quality of life and providing them with the resources and information to make an informed choice about their healthcare.

This month we are excited to present:

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a medically supervised program, staffed with experienced cardiac nurses, for people who have had a heart attack, heart failure, heart valve surgery, heart transplants, coronary artery bypass grafting, stable angina or percutaneous coronary intervention (stents or angioplasty).

Cardiac Rehab involves adopting heart-healthy lifestyle changes to address risk factors for cardiovascular disease and to help encourage lifestyle changes. Their program includes exercise training, education on heart-healthy living and counseling to help reduce stress and return to an active lifestyle. Research has found that cardiac rehabilitation programs can reduce your risk of death from heart disease and reduce your risk of future heart problems. The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recommend cardiac rehabilitation programs. Come and learn about ways to improve your quality of life. A question/answer period will follow their discussion.
