POCA of DuPage is managed by Co-Leaders Kellee Konieczny, Eileen Gentile and Kristin Miller under the guidance of medical advisors and with the aid of several key volunteers who are members of the Leadership Team. Additional POCA members focus their attention on special projects.

Although our members are not trained in the medical profession, all of us have personal experience in living with food allergies and are committed to helping others live as safe and normal a life as possible in the face of life-threatening food allergies.

We have two medical advisors, Dr. Asya Segalene, MD  who is board certified in allergy and immunology as well as pediatrics and is associated with Allergy and Asthma Associates of DuPage and Christine Szychlinski, APN, CPNP from Children's Memorial Hospital. We are lucky to have one of the advisors usually attend our quarterly meetings to present allergy information and/or answer general allergy-related questions.
