November 9, Fall Northern Illinois Food Bank Event
DuPage County Medical Society (DCMS) volunteers once again demonstrated their commitment to community service by volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank on Saturday, November 9.
For three impactful hours, they assembled backpacks filled with nutritious essentials, including shelf-stable milk, rice, and canned vegetables, ensuring that our neighbors in need have access to vital nourishment.
We are profoundly grateful for the contributions of our volunteers. As we continue to advocate for public health matters, let us recognize that such volunteer work is a vital component of our mission, advancing quality healthcare delivery, promoting physician education and professional collaboration, and enhancing public health. Together, we can inspire others to participate in community initiatives.
DCMS physicians volunteer twice a year at the Northern Illinois Food Bank. There will be another opportunity in the Spring of 2025! -
October 29 Wine-Tasting Event Sponsored By MEDIQUS
Everyone who attended the DCMS wine-tasting event at Grill 89 agreed it was a delightful experience. Our very own Edwin Zarling, MD, took on the role of sommelier with grace and expertise, ensuring that we all left with a little more knowledge tucked away alongside our fond memories. As Lanny Wilson, MD, President of the DuPage Medical Society Foundation, aptly said, "Yes, we did leave in a good mood last evening! The formula was just right for that outcome: good wine, good food, good education, and great company!" So, let's raise a glass to those shared moments of joy, and the connections we made. We look forward to seeing you at our future events, where we will continue to enhance our professional journeys while promoting the health of our community!
DCMS thanks MEDIQUS Asset Advisors, Inc., for sponsoring this event. -
