Whole Health: T'ai Chi Chih Level 1
(CANCELED)

| Location: |
Bldg. 131, Room 25, Ground Floor |
|

As Lovell FHCC transitions into a Whole Health approach to patient care, veterans, patients, staff members are invited to attend "T'ai Chi Chih."
This is a free, eight-week class. Please note, because the classes build over eight weeks, participants are required to sign up and start attending within the first three class sessions, or wait for the next eight-week program to begin.
Call the Whole Health Hotline to register for the next class: 224-610-7609.
T'ai Chi Chih is a set of movements completely focused on the development of an intrinsic energy called Chi. It's easy to learn and usually takes about two months (eight classes). It consists of 19 stand-alone movements and one pose.
It is not martial art. It does not require any particular fitness level or coordination. For those with physical limitations, movements may be done seated. It brings about profound healing for many people by circulating and balancing the essential energy (Chi). For some it may be physical, others emotional, and others spiritual.
If you have any questions, call the Whole Health hotline at 224-610-7609.
The road to better health rests within you!

Virtual Ribbon-Cutting of Lovell FHCC and Brushwood Center Veteran Mural
| |
|
| | Join Lovell FHCC and Brushwood Center to dedicate a new veterans mural in the tramway at the FHCC North Chicago hospital.
This pre-recorded but live-streamed event features none other than former Apollo astronaut and retired Navy Captain James A. Lovell (and FHCC's namesake) himself, assisting with the ribbin-cutting.
Hear testimonials from veteran artists on the project, and community muralists who assisted the FHCC Recreation Therapy Dept., FHCC staff and veterans in the project over the summer.
The result is a stunning mural celebrating the 10th anniversary of Lovell FHCC in October of this year.
We hope you can join us. See the attached press release for details.
