The Half Century Club Committee of the Northwestern University Medical Alumni Association invites you to a virtual event:

Have Coffee and Conversations

Our “Have Coffee and Conversations” series is a unique opportunity for you to reconnect with fellow alumni, share your experiences, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a relaxed setting. This month’s topic will feature a question that is on all of our minds, “Exercise is Medicine: Are You Taking the Right Dose?”

This virtual discussion will feature Margaret Danilovich ’07 PT, DPT, PhD, ’22 MBA, adjunct assistant professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences. Exercise is good for you...but what exactly should you do to age well? We all know we should exercise, but what's the exact "prescription" to age well–our research is helping define that.

RSVP today to receive your special edition NM exercise bands via mail!

The Half Century Club (HCC) recognizes our alumni who graduated 50+ years ago and celebrates your dedication to the betterment of human health.
