Upcoming public events, hosted by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Women Business Owners, will feature local, medical specialist, Dr. Robert C. Russell, M.D. and the staff of Heartland Plastic Surgery Center. In March, Heartland Plastic Surgery Center had a booth at the annual Business Connections at Prairie Capitol Convention Center.  On May 7, Dr. Russell of the Heartland Plastic Surgery Center attended the Women In Progress Conference at Northfield Center. The event was success and included product giveaways and a display by Heartland Plastic Surgery Center that edcuated attendees on the medical options for corrective and cosmetic improvements. Local men and women are invited to the Clinic’s Open House, scheduled for May 21, 2007 from 5:30  – 7:30 pm. It is important to understand that only a board-certified plastic surgeon can make all of the treatment options available to you.  Day centers, spas or specialty clinics are designed to market and provide only specific products or treatments.  Robert C. Russell, M.D., FACS, FRACS, is a clinical Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in the Division of Plastic Surgery at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.  Russell is also the chair of Plastic Surgery at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield.  To receive an invitation to the May 21, 2007 Open House Event, please e-mail: info@heartlandplasticsurgerycenter.com
