“Strength and Motivation for Life’s Challenges” is the theme of the 19th annual Omaha Women’s Health & Wellness Conference.
Christin McDermott, Print & Media Specialist at UNMC, says this year’s speakers will be talking about topics ranging from finding balance and becoming more resilient to dealing with stress and embracing good nutrition.
McDermott says there will even be a session on teens, their self-image and how they struggle with it. She says the conference kicks off at 8:00 a.m. Friday, October 7th with a health fair.
"So women are able to grab their breakfast, stroll around and learn more about what’s available for health education, any kind of screenings and then maybe even have some conversations with health specialists.”
McDermott says those attending will also have the opportunity to obtain the latest flu shot as well as glucose blood tests.
She says nurses and other medical professionals will earn continuing education credits for attending the conference.
The Omaha Women’s Health & Wellness Conference takes place from 8:00 to 4:30 on Friday, October 7th at the La Vista Conference Center in the Embassy Suites. The deadline to register is September 30th.
