Danville doctors take voyage to Antarctica

DANVILLE – Most Midwesterners would opt for a beach vacation in midwinter. But when Danville doctors Surendra and Usha Paruchuri headed south this winter, they skipped over every beach spot in the Western Hemisphere and chose Antarctica instead.

"I'm always interested in going to end-of-the-world places," said Usha Paruchuri, who's a doctor at Veterans Affairs Illiana Healthcare System in Danville. Her husband, Surendra, is a doctor at the Danville Polyclinic.
