The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute and Illinois Extension will host a weekly “Holistic Health Solutions” seminar series starting Feb. 28.
According to a release by Media Communications Coordinator Herbert Chavez, the seminar has three main goals.
“This program provides an opportunity for the community to learn about current health research, find reliable sources of health information, and engage in direct dialogue with U of I researchers,” the release stated.
The series will include six seminars offered on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m., beginning on Feb. 28 and ending on April 17. The series will occur over Zoom; however, the last three seminars will have an in-person option.
