Et ekte helselag - a real health society - Numedalsnett

This video in Norwegian was shot in 2000. The Uvdal Health Society (Uvdal helselag) in Norway hosted an event with dancing lessons, a presentation of local history and a lottery. These health societies were established at a time when the Norwegian municipalities did not have the responsibility for taking care of (old) people´s health the way they have today. Of course that`s a long time ago, but for years the Uvdal Health Society continued to exist.

The video is from the archives of Numedalsnett in Norway and one of the participants in the video, Mrs. Petra Nymoen, was a long time member of the health society.

Norwegian: Uvdal helselag i Nore og Uvdal ble selvsagt etablert i en tid da Nore og Uvdal kommune - og andre norske kommuner - tok mindre ansvar for (eldre) folks helse enn de har gjort i moderne tid. Men selv etter at helsestellet ble statlig og kommunalt i Norge fortsatte mange helselag med aktiv virksomhet. Videoen er fra arkivet til Numedalsnett og ble publisert i formatet Real Video for mange år siden. Den er fra en kveld da helselaget arrangerte et lysbildeforedrag, en danseleksjon og selvsagt et lotteri.
