Nursing students from Kishwaukee College and Northern Illinois University held a Health Fair at Barb City Manor in DeKalb on April 19. The 17 students provided health information on hydration, constipation, fall prevention, polypharmacy, exercise and other topics. The students also provided blood pressure screenings. The Health Fair, which also included several outside vendors, was well-attended by Barb City Manor residents. The Kishwaukee College students were joined by Pat Mitchell, Nursing instructor, for their NUR 249 Mental Health Nursing class. Mitchell partnered with Mary Gawrys, Nursing Instructor at NIU who coordinates community nursing clinical experiences, to offer the Health Fair. This is the third year Kishwaukee and NIU have partnered to offer the free health fairs in the community. Pictured are the Kishwaukee College and NIU Nursing students at the Barb City Manor.
