Supporting medical institutions and physicians by acting as an "Educational & Motivational" agent, enhancing patient understanding and compliance, while increasing patency rates. CHIP 6 Graduates 250 With Alumni Gala!!! April 13 was graduation day for over 250 people enrolled in CHIP 6. They have had HeartScreens, Dr. Diehl's lectures, Shopping Tours, and Cooking Classes with Jeanie Burke. Graduation (Commencement) was held at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. SwedishAmerican COO, Rich Walsh addressed his fellow CHIPpers with words of vision and inspiration! He spoke of a day in the future when the CHIP healthy menu will be on the front of the menu and the unhealthy stuff on the "back panel." Ryan Petty, President of the Rockford Area Chamber of Commerce and graduate of CHIP 2 in 1999, gave the keynote address. Several CHIPers, including SAHS participants shared their results of weight loss, reduced cholesterol, normalized blood sugar, relief from allergies, and reduced blood pressure. Many reduced or eliminated medications for these diseases. Now that's success! Following graduation, the new CHIPpers and their guests were introduced to their first alumni activity - The CHIP Alumni Graduation Gala. This event included a Silent Auction to raise funds for Scholarships for CHIP 7 and CHIP Video classes. CHIP Appetizers were provided by several participating CHIP approved restaurants, followed by delicious salads, whole wheat spaghetti with Tomato Face Meatless "Meat" Sauce. Dessert featured German Fruit Tortes made by Dr. Hans Diehl assisted by Chip Alumni volunteers as well as Strawberry Fudge Cake, and Carrot Cake from The King's Table. What a Feast! The Silent Auction garnered over $3,000 for Scholarships. Congratulations to all. NOTE: Those of you who will be attending CHIP 7 in October or the Summer CHIP-via-Video Class have a real treat in store for you!
