BANDON – The 23rd annual Women’s Health Day will be held from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, March 7, at the Bandon Community Center, 1200 11th St. SW, located in Bandon City Park.
Women’s Health Day is a free annual event presented by Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center and the Southern Coos Health Foundation and sponsored by generous community individuals and businesses. Over the past 22 years, Women’s Health Day has focused on healthcare-related topics that are relevant to women, encouraging them to feed their minds, bodies and spirits.
This year’s theme is “Finding Your Balance: Hormones, Mindfulness, and Health” with returning keynote speaker Dr. Neil Nathan. Autumn Mercer, MSN, FNP-C, AGNP-C of EmpowerHer Health Collaborative will make her presentation debut.
The event will also offer stretch breaks, raffles, vendors, and drawings, and the Hospital Gift Shop will have a pop-up shop. In addition, breakfast and lunch will be served, with a healthy anti-inflammatory menu prepared by the hospital’s Dietary Department.
The entire event is free to attend, thanks to generous sponsors. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today.
