Do you live in the Green Bay area? Then don’t miss this After Thoughts on complementary medicine and alternative healing with UW-Green Bay Nursing’s own Prof. T. Heather Herdman. Delve into the history of holism — as a philosophy and a way of being. Contrast holism with our current conventional system of health care and learn how it all ties into the renewed interest among individuals to take accountability for their own health care decisions, integrating care from a variety of traditions into their everyday lives.
This is the first lecture as part of the sixth annual UW-Green Bay After Thoughts series. After Thoughts is a lecture and networking series at UW-Green Bay designed with four goals in mind:
- connect the community with UW-Green Bay
- showcase talented women of UW-Green Bay’s faculty, staff and alumni
- convene women — and the men who support them — for learning, enrichment and fun
- provide After Thoughts for attendees to take with them
The 2015-16 series will kickoff on Tuesday, October 6 beginning at 5 p.m. in the Weidner Center Grand Foyer with an hors d’oeuvres reception followed by the program at 5:45 p.m. The first speaker of the year as mentioned will be T. Heather Herdman, UW-Green Bay Associate Professor of Nursing. Heather’s presentation, titled Integrative Healthcare: What’s the Whole Holistic Thing, Anyway?, will demystify holistic and alternative medicine and help us to understand its importance as therapy and treatment options.
