Health of Middle-Aged Women Is Topic
Health concerns of middle-age women will be the focus of a free seminar tonight at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Woodland Hills.
“Life Choices” will feature four speakers discussing issues ranging from medical and natural alternatives for managing menopause to sexuality and relationships. The speakers will also answer questions from the audience, Kaiser officials said.
Tonight’s event is part of an ongoing series of seminars sponsored by the Women’s Wellness Committee, a group of Kaiser staff members with a particular expertise or interest in women’s health issues.
“We really have some good speakers this time who are experts about these issues,” said Mary Stephenson, a nurse and administrator of Kaiser’s Health Education Department.
The speakers, all of whom are affiliated with Kaiser, include Judith Norris, who will discuss “Natural Menopause: Alternative Management,” Dr. Larry Hess, “Current Options for Menopause,” Linda Daniels-Hernandez, “Approaching Mid-Life: Crisis or Opportunity,” and Sharon Goldsmith, “Sexuality and Relationships.”
Registration and free blood pressure screenings will begin at 6 and lectures will begin at 6:30.
“Life Choices,” which is open to the public, will be held in Auditorium A-C at Kaiser Permanente, 5601 De Soto Ave.
