Pender Community Hospital (PCH) will host All About HER: Thriving through Women’s Health and Wellness, on Thursday, Oct. 19.

This open-house event will take place in PCH’s main lobby from 4 to 7 pm. With a focus on women and their specific health-and-wellness needs, All About HER will feature educational sessions, interactive activities, refreshments, hourly door prizes and more.

“We’re proud to offer this event to women in our communities,” said Laura Gamble, CEO at Pender Community Hospital. “The event will showcase many unique activities, giveaways and more. We’re hoping All About HER inspires and empowers women to take control of their own health-and-wellness journeys.”

The event activities planned for All About HER include women’s health physical-therapy education, a dermatology overview and free Botox giveaway, self-defense education, car seat checks, flu shots, chair massages, nutritional education and free samples, mammography education, highlight on robotic-assisted GYN surgeries, and a behavioral health services overview.

The event will also feature extended appointment times for 3D mammography, but these must be scheduled in advance by calling 402-385-4069 and require a written order from your provider. Limited number of spots are available.

“Women of all ages are encouraged to attend this event,” explained Gamble. “And, of course, men are welcome to attend, as well! There will be so much to learn, discover and do.”

The All About HER event is free, and there is no registration to attend. Those attending the event can simply show up between 4 and 7 pm on Thursday, Oct. 19, at PCH (100 Hospital Drive in Pender).
