Local seniors and veterans are invited to enjoy a free meal while learning more about their health next month.
Senior Education Ministries and the Shelby County Senior Center will host their next Dine with a Doc® event on Monday, March 9, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Shelby County Senior Center in Shelbyville.
The free community program brings seniors together for lunch and a relaxed conversation with a healthcare professional. This month’s featured speaker is Dr. Jaclyn Jansen, a board-certified audiologist with Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System.
Dr. Jansen will share information on hearing health, age-related hearing changes, and ways seniors can maintain independence and cognitive well-being. The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
Lunch will be provided at no cost, courtesy of Sarah Bush Lincoln, a 2026 key supporter of the Dine with a Doc® program.
Organizers say the monthly event is designed to help seniors and veterans stay healthy, connected, and informed in a friendly, social setting — without the pressure of a traditional medical appointment.
The Shelby County Senior Center is located at 325 East North 9th Street in Shelbyville. Seniors interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP by calling 217-774-2251.
