This was an exciting weekend for the NUHS Whole Health Center!
Naturopathic interns participated in the annual Healthy Lombard
Fair held at the Yorktown Center mall as representatives for NUHS
and the NUHS Whole Health Center.
The Healthy Lombard Fair is a gathering of health-oriented
organizations within the Lombard area. Health centers,
universities, exercise groups, and health-oriented businesses
gather in one spot to promote healthy living. One could find care
and strategies, suggestions and ideas for a healthy lifestyle
ranging from prenatal.
We naturopathic interns from NUHS represented our school and all
programs provided by the NUHS Whole Health Center thoroughly and
had a great time while we were at it. We discussed our wide range
of services available at the clinic such as...
- Naturopathic Care
- Chiropractic Care
- PTSD Clinic for returning veterans from overseas
- Acupuncture
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Massage Therapy
- Hydrotherapy
- Detoxification Programs
- Weight Loss Clinic
Finally, a new local cable access program supporting healthy
living in Lombard asked each of us to give a healthy tip of the day
for the local program. So, each of us (Kish, Heather, Jerrica, and
yours truly) took a turn in front of the camera to give a daily
healthy guideline for the show's viewers.
The Healthy Lombard Fair was a great way for our interns to gain
practice and exposure with the general public to speak about
naturopathic medicine (or as I like to say 'conservative primary
care') and generate some positive publicity for our clinic here at
the school.
Until next week, stay warm and look for spring coming around the
corner!
