[March 20, 2015]
LINCOLN - The Lincoln Elks #914 Lodge
in cooperation with the Illinois Elks Children’s Care Corporation
and Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital will sponsor a free children’s
orthopedic assessment clinic on Tuesday, April 7 at ALMH.
Assessments will be conducted by David Olysav, MD.
|
Dr. Olysav, an orthopedic surgeon with Springfield
Clinic, will be conducting the clinic. The clinic is from 1 p.m. to
3 p.m. and is by appointment only. The clinic is an ideal time to
have a child reviewed for bone and joint development. If your child
has an uncorrectable deformity, complains of back, knee, leg, ankle
pain or has a back curvature, they can be seen at the clinic. No
medical referral is necessary for the clinic, however, physicians
are welcome to refer patients to the clinic for a specific reason or
second opinion. School nurses are also welcome to refer children and
families to the clinic.
The Elks Organization has been working with physically challenged
children since 1928. There are 17 clinic locations throughout
Illinois. The Elks will provide financial assistance to their best
of their ability for children needing further treatment or specialty
equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources to do so. In
the past, the Elks have purchased therapy services, corrective
shoes, braces, orthotics, wheelchairs and augmentative communication
devices to help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.
