A Day for Women’s Wellness

Women’s Wellness

MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital in Leonardtown will again host its annual Women’s Wellness Day on Feb. 23, 2019, celebrating the hospital’s dedication to the health of women in St. Mary’s County and the surrounding region.

Women’s Wellness Day will be held from 9 am to 2:30 pm at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center at 24005 Point Lookout Road in Leonardtown. There is no cost to attend the annual event, but pre-registration is required.

The event will be hosted by St. Mary’s Delicados and MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital. Speakers will be featured from MedStar Health, MedStar St. Mary’s, and University of Maryland Extension and they will talk about topics like stroke, nutrition, mindful eating, mental illness, and palliative care. The event will include health and wellness displays, health screenings, and old medicine collection by the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office regularly collects prescription and over-the-counter medications that are no longer needed. This safe disposal program makes it easy to clean out the medicine cabinet without polluting or creating dangerous situations. The collection does not include inhalers, syringes, drugs in aerosol canisters, or chemotherapy medications.

A continental breakfast and lunch will be offered for participants.
