Women’s Health Day 2025
BANDON – Join us for the 22nd annual Women’s Health Day, which will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at the Bandon Community Center, 1200 11th St. SW, in Bandon City Park.
Women’s Health Day is an 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.
This year’s topic is “THRIVE – A Holistic Approach to Physical & Financial Health.” Keynote speaker is Dr. Neal Nathan, M.D. Dr. Nathan has been practicing medicine for over 50 years, has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management, and is a Founding Diplomate of both the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and the International Society for Environmental and Applied Immunology.
As he studied and learned a wide variety of alternative concepts, Dr. Nathan’s practice gravitated into primarily helping diagnose and treat those patients who have not been helped by conventional medicine.
There will once again be a panel and additional speakers, featuring local practitioners and financial experts, including Dr. Hank Holmes, Dr. Jennifer Webster, Dr. Veronica Simmonds, Kristin Nilsen, nutrition expert Stephanie Polizzi, local attorney Robert S. Miller III, and financial advisors Amanda Whitlatch, Anne McCaleb, and Lisa Amaral.
The day will include complimentary breakfast and lunch, stretch breaks, cooking demo, raffles, vendors, and drawings, and the Hospital Gift Shop will have a pop-up shop in the lobby of the Community Center.
To register and learn about sponsorship opportunities, visit https://southerncoos.org/womens-health-day/ or email Foundation Executive Director Alix McGinley at amcginley@southerncoos.org or call her at 520-241-4171.
