KishHealth System’s fifth annual This Ones’s For The Girls women’s health event is coming up this Friday and Saturday, February 20 and 21, from 8am to noon at Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb.Women of all ages are invited to attend for a morning dedicated to you!
The event features snacks, giveaways, prizes, health screenings, education, laughs, pampering and even some shopping.
Each year hundreds of women partake in this unique opportunity to learn about important health topics such as signs of a stroke, reducing stress, breast self-exams, healthy recipes, fitness tips, and much more. Several screenings including skin spot checks, glucose checks, body mass index, blood pressure, and many more are offered free of charge.
There are many giveaways at the event that help promote a healthy lifestyle such as a water bottle, ice pack, recipe cards, a tote bag and more, along with raffles for great kitchen gadgets, spa accessories and exercise equipment.
Each year, women learn valuable information about the importance of their health and the health of those they love and care for. Featuring a photo booth, great food and fun, all in a relaxed environment, women can put their stress behind them at this event for a short time as they visit over 20 different booths staffed by health professionals from across KishHealth System.
The education shared at This One’s For The Girls has equipped women with information that is saving lives. One attendee was able to quickly identify the signs of a stroke suffered by her loved one and help to urgently get necessary medical care. Another attendee shared her thankful story after taking part in the skin spot check and being told she needed to seek care for a spot on her skin, which was later diagnosed as skin cancer.
The event is a a lot of fun, but its purpose is much greater. As the primary healthcare decision makers of most families, women need to be prepared to often identify and sometimes triage a medical situation and know when and where to send those they love for care.
Make plans with your mom, sister, daughter, coworker or friend to be at this special women’s event; you won’t be disappointed! For additional information and to pre-register online, visit www.kishforthegirls.org
