The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard about Lifestyle Medicine being offered locally, at their Tuesday noon meeting at the Moose Lodge.

Dr. Pavi Gill and his Nurse Practitioner Brenda Hemann were program speakers and talked about an innovative approach to health care that the 2 are offering at Springfield Clinic.   What they’re calling “Lifestyle Medicine” is a multi-faceted approach integrating their new Emerald Laser machine, plus hormone therapy, and self-care, to help patients become healthier.

Dr. Gill told Kiwanis members hormone therapy can be used to enhance the quality of life, and Hemann shared the many benefits of their new Emerald Laser machine.   She said the laser treatment is painless, and described what one of 8 sessions are like and the potential weight loss as result of the treatments.

To schedule an appointment to find out more on Lifestyle Medicine, contact Dr. Gill’s office at Springfield Clinic Taylorville.

The public is reminded that this Friday and Saturday is the annual Kiwanis Kids’ Days at select locations all over Taylorville.   Kiwanis members will be wearing bright apparel while standing at street corners and other locations, asking for financial donations from the public that help fund Kiwanis projects such as Coats for Kids, Kiwanis Park, high school and YMCA scholarhsips.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
