*SPEAKERS:
9:30 a.m. - Chef Alli Winter
Culinary Instructor, Certified Personal Chef, Entrepreneur
Chef Alli attended the United States Personal Chef Institute in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She is a certified personal chef, TV personality, culinary instructor and professional speaker. Chef Alli was one of the founding instructors for Culinary Inspirations, a division of Kitchen Aid and was owner of Menu Makers USA. Chef Alli is the CEO of Chef Alli’s, Inc, a public relations and small food manufacturing company. She is the spokesperson for the Topeka and Manhattan Hy-Vee and her Take and Bake Tonite entree line is exclusively at Hy-Vee.

Join Chef Alli for a culinary presentation that will show you how to make life in the kitchen so much easier. By using key tools and quality ingredients, plus a couple of cool gadgets, life in the kitchen can be a cakewalk! Just remember, it’s not how many tools you have but what you do with them that counts. Plus, when you feel more comfortable in the kitchen, you’ll find yourself closer to the healthy lifestyle we all want and desire.

Chef Alli will also share preferred cooking techniques and ‘secret ingredient’ favorites, with tried and true strategies for healthy cooking and eating. She will entertain you with culinary humor, along with her favorite cooking stories and kitchen adventures as she shows you how to prepare a favorite healthy dish: Southwest Chicken Cutlets with Calico Rice – made in just minutes.

Plan to attend this special presentation that allows Chef Alli the chance to chop, slice, dice, and sauté her way into your life!


*11:00 a.m. - Jerry L Old MD
Welcome Dr. Jerry Old and receive a dose of compassion and humor!

He is also Chief Medical Director for Hospice Care of Kansas, a CHAP certified organization and the largest hospice in Kansas serving over 600 patients and families daily, and a Kansas Health Ethics board member.

Dr. Old will acquaint those in the healthcare field with the changing views of geriatric medicine, particularly during this time of healthcare debate. Good geriatric medical care includes both a philosophy of care, and a changing body of knowledge. As our population ages and demographics change, paradigm shifts are necessary to incorporate this new model of care into the mainstream.

Dr Old is board certified in both Family Medicine and in the new medical specialty of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He has 25 years of experience as a rural Family Physician before returning to teach at the University Of Kansas School Of Medicine. He is author of two books, “Vintage People” and a medical textbook “A Practical Guide to Palliative Care”, published by Lippincott publishers in 2007.
