Discuss Arthritis over "Breakfast with the Docs" at the Oak Park Arms

A discussion on rheumatology and osteoarthritis will be held by rheumatologist Max Harris, M.D. and orthopedic surgeon Sarkis Bedikian, D.O. at “Breakfast with the Docs” at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, March 20, at the Oak Park Arms retirement community, 408 S. Oak Park Ave.

Roughly one in five adults is diagnosed with arthritis, and more than 50 percent of those ages 65 or older suffer from some type of arthritis. While there are more than 100 different types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common forms.

Both Dr. Harris and Dr. Bedikian are board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians. They will be discussing the latest treatment options for managing arthritis.

The Oak Park Arms is a rental retirement community which provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay - a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

The event is free and open to the public. And it’s not called “Breakfast with the Docs” for nothing: participants who attend will also be served a healthy breakfast. For more information, or to reserve a seat, call 708-386-4040 or visit www.oakparkarms.com.
