********Restaurant Cards are available!!********

Ever finally gain enough nerve to venture out to a restaurant with family or friends and try to have just a little bit of food, only to be charged for a full plate, or a cover charge?  In an effort to change that, G-PACT has created a Restaurant card for gastroparesis patients.  While other organizations have done this in the past, their cards were geared towards patient on TPN or feeding tubes only.  G-PACT offers the card to ALL gastroparesis patients, rather on or off TPN or a feeding tube.

Ordering your Restaurant card is easy!  Just send a SASE to:

Veronica Pennington
G-PACT Ohio Office
109 E. Spring Ave.
Bellefontaine , OH   43311

Your card is usually shipped within the same week it is received.  If you have any questions please contact Veronica at vpennington@g-pact.org
