Northwest Community Healthcare’s popular Finding Dr. Right(SM) program is next scheduled in Arlington Heights, making it faster and easier for area residents to locate a new pediatrician for their children, or an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB-GYN) for themselves. It’s free, and even a little fun.

Finding Dr. Right takes place on Wednesday, May 9, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the NCH Wellness Center, 900 West Central Road on the Arlington Heights campus of Northwest Community Hospital. The May event will allow busy people to conveniently meet one-on-one with pediatricians and OB-GYNs to determine who is right for them.

“This gives people a chance to sit down with a number of great male and female doctors to get a good feel for their personalities and expertise without the hassle of setting up several appointments,” said Jackie Speckin, director of Strategic Marketing for NCH.

Finding Dr. Right is based on the concept of speed dating, which involves brief chats with potential suitors. In this case, prospective patients will talk with each physician for five minutes and then rotate to the next doctor at the sound of a bell. Attendees should not seek medical advice during these brief sessions.

“We keep things moving in a fun way because we know people have limited time,” Speckin said. “It’s a fast way to get your important questions answered while learning about a physician’s approach to healthcare.”

Physician referral specialists will be on hand to help coordinate next steps when community members find a doctor who meets their medical needs. Complimentary light refreshments will be available.

Seats are limited at this free event, so registration is required by calling HealthConnection at 847.618.4YOU (4968). Attendees can also register online by visiting NCH’s website at www.nch.org.
