Cannabis and Health:  Understanding How Cannabis Can Help Us Live Well (on Zoom)

Join Melanie Dreher and Althea Northrage-Orr for a timely conversation about the long history of medical uses of cannabis and how it can improve our comfort and ability to handle some of the challenges of daily life.  

Melanie Dreher, former Dean of Nursing at the University of Iowa and the Rush University School of Nursing is an internationally known “reefer researcher” focusing on the medical impact of cannabis to reduce and even eliminate common health concerns.

Althea Northrage-Orr is a plant-medicine clinician who guides patients not only to determine which natural remedies (such as cannabis) can be used to effectively address such health issues as getting enough sleep without taking sleeping pills or managing common ailments and worries, but also how to employ them, which most doctors have not been trained to do.

This program—offered in partnership with LiveAgeWell in Edgewater, Edgewater Village Chicago, and Skyline Village Chicago—will expand our understanding of how medical cannabis works and provide practical information about how to secure and use it effectively.
