Dr. David Yeager, Podiatric Surgeon, has provided complimentary foot care to children for the past 14 years, through the Illinois Elks Children’s Care program. Illinois Elks Children’s Care Corporation provides services, treatments, and equipment, to ease a child’s daily burden in coping with a physical problem.
Many cases are very complex and require custom-designed braces, wheelchairs, and treatment programs. Others simply may involve provision of corrective shoes or physical/occupational therapy services for three-to-six months.
In all cases, they work to be certain appropriate insurance and State benefits are applied before the Elks provide assistance.
Thank you, Dr. Yeager, for your dedication to these kids. Thank you to the IECC for providing medical care and equipment for kids for the past 85 years! Pictured is Dr. Yeager and 12-year-old Silas Dolieslager.
