It will be long but yes! The best is to make them eating!
And, when you quit your game, don't forget to select 1 (or best: 2) villagers as healers. If they are not selected as it, they'll not heal a sick villager by their own, even if they have some healing skill! Don't let your vilagers alone without doctors!
And also, select 1 farmer to be sure he'll harvest or forage when you are not here!
