We’re excited to share that Foot and Ankle Specialists of Illinois is a proud partner of this year’s “There’s No Place Like LITH” celebration—a whimsical, Wizard of Oz–themed community event happening in Lake in the Hills on Saturday, October 5th.
This fun-filled morning features something for everyone—whether you’re a runner, dog lover, parent of young kids, or just looking for a great way to connect with your community.

The event kicks off at Sunset Park and includes:

Our Office Manager and MA/FD team will be on-site—some handing out swag at our table and others lacing up for the 5K and other events. Look for our table at the event and stop by to say HI!
We’ll also spotlight pediatric foot care and same-day sports injury treatment, along with our ongoing commitment to supporting the community we serve.
