What is Women's
Health and Fitness Day?
|
|
A
group of medical students at the University of Michigan Medical School
organizes Women's Health and Fitness Day, which will be held in January. This
day is focused on educating the community – women and men of all ages – about
various aspects of women's health. Each attendee will be able to attend
workshops led by U of M health professionals who are experts in their
respective fields. The day is free for all participants and includes a
complimentary breakfast and lunch. This day is sure to be educational,
exciting, and fun-filled for all who come!

Why are we planning
it?
Our
goal for Women's Health and Fitness Day is to impact Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and surrounding communities. For all women, health
and fitness are important aspects both of medicine and of living a long and
happy life. Women often interact with their doctors only when they are sick;
we would like to change this. We are providing a forum for health care
professionals to reach out to the community and address preventative health
issues and how to live a healthy life. There is an incredible wealth of
resources and knowledge at the U of M Medical Center (ranked #10 by
the US News and World Report
in 2008) that needs to be shared with our community. In addition, there is a
lot to be learned from our community. We hope that Women's Health and Fitness
Day will bring women together from all aspects of our community to learn from
each other.
|
|
What are our goals?
- To educate the
community about specific health issues facing women and the role of
health and fitness throughout women's lives.
- To provide an
opportunity for women and girls in the community to interact with and
learn from experts in the specific fields.
- To provide an
opportunity for medical students to interact with and learn from the
community, and to help educate their community about important health
issues.
