Resident chefs make a healthy meal for Springfield Ronald McDonald House Our fantastic four-year OB-GYN residents just took "community wellness" to a whole new level during National ACOG/CREOG Resident Wellness Week. They swapped their stethoscopes for spatulas and whipped up a scrumptious lunch for the families over at the Ronald McDonald House. Their paella, refreshing fruit salad, garlic bread and delicious cake were a hit. Their culinary skills not only filled tummies but also warmed hearts. Cheers to our residents for spreading joy and representing SIU Medicine in our community!
