Featuring movie “What the Health” & free blood pressure screenings
[Bridgeview, IL] On Monday, November 13, the Student Nurse Association of Northwestern College’s Violet L Schumacher School of Nursing will host a Community Health Day at the College’s Bridgeview Campus at 7725 S. Harlem Avenue from 6:00 pm through 8:30 pm. The event is open to the public and will commence at 6:00 pm in the College’s front lobby with free blood pressure screenings. A viewing of the film What the Health will follow immediately thereafter from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Auditorium. Registration is requested at Facebook.com/northwesterncol, however walk-ins are also welcome that evening.
What the Health is an investigatory documentary by filmmaker Kip Andersen that is not only eye opening but also spiced with humor. The film features Anderson’s interviews with medical doctors, researchers, and consumer advocates, which begins to uncover the secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases. With heart disease and cancer being the leading causes of death in this country and diabetes reaching an all-time high, Anderson’s multiple interviews reveal a health cover-up by some of the nation’s leading health organizations, exposing what they do not want the public to know. The movie is promoted as exposing the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing trillions of healthcare dollars and keeping people sick. What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy.
The Violet L Schumacher School of Nursing’s Student Nurse Association is excited to provide this Community Health Day to the public. In addition, they are pleased to offer free blood pressure screenings that evening, sharing with the public what they have learned in the classroom. The student nurses are hopeful that many local residents will come out to take advantage of this opportunity right here in the Bridgeview community.
