Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital is partnering with the University of Illinois Extension to celebrate National Diabetes Awareness Day. A public event will be held at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital at 200 Stahlhut Drive in Lincoln on Thursday, November 14 to teach participants about pressure cookers. The event will take place in the Steinfort Conference Room.

Pressure cookers are very popular but are oftentimes intimidating to use. Those in attendance will learn the differences and features of electric pressure and multi-cookers. Safety and tips for cooking food quickly will also be discussed. Food samples will be available. To register for the event, interested individuals should call 217-605-5535 by November 11.
