Omaha Women's Health & Wellness Conference is next week

The 18th annual Omaha Women’s Health &Wellness Conference takes place Friday, October 30th at the LaVista Conference Center from 8 to 4:30.

Christin McDermott, Print and Media Associate for the Olson Center for Women’s Health at UNMC, says it’s a great day for women to come together and learn how to improve their health and wellness.

McDermott says there will be a health fair room in the morning where attendees can take advantage of health screenings and pick up health education materials. 

She says there will also be several keynote speakers.

"Dr. Ally Dering-Anderson comes back this year and gives a lively presentation and Q&A with our attendees on what every woman should know about vitamins and minerals.  Shortly after that, Dr. Bonnema, who is an Olson Center Internist, is going to talk with women about health care prevention and navigating the health care guidelines for women.”

McDermott says the afternoon breakout sessions focus on women’s health, nutrition, sleep and stress.  For more information or to register, the website is http://omahawomenshealthandwellness.org.
