2020: Watch Ten Online Interactive Health Discussions Presented by Madonna University Nursing Students

In September, Nursing students from Madonna University collaborated to create ten different online interactive health discussions.

These sessions covered a wide variety of topics of interest to older adults. They were presented via Facebook Live from September 22 through September 25.  Most are between 18 and 25 minutes long.

During the sessions, some participants were able to ask questions and make comments by using the Facebook “comment” boxes.  All ten presentations were recorded, and though they’re no longer live they remain online and can be viewed anytime.
