The Annual Women’s Health Luncheon will be held on Friday, September 27th from 10:30 am – 1 pm at the Living Hope Church, 16701 Square Drive in Marysville. The theme for this event is “Giving Back: the Pathway to Making a Difference.” Ohio’s Former First Lady Frances Strickland will be the keynote speaker. Lunch will begin being served at 11:30 am. The official luncheon program begins promptly at 12 pm.

As part of the program, three women will be recognized who have given back to Union County via the Nellie Fairbanks Pathfinder Award. These are women who have either inspired healthy living, given back in the Union County area through community service, or are upcoming “pathfinders” and under 30 years of age.

During the luncheon, there will also be a health fair running from 10:30 am – 12 pm. Women who attend the luncheon may take advantage of various health screenings.

This year the OSU James mobile mammography unit will be on site from 10 am – 2 pm for any woman who chooses to sign up. The toll free number to schedule an appointment is 1-800-240-4477. The American Cancer Society recommends women over 40 have an annual mammogram. Most major insurances are accepted. The luncheon committee is also working with the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program through the Ohio Department of Health to reduce/cover mammogram costs for those women who are between 50 and 65 years of age with no or little insurance coverage. Please call the number above for an appointment and to find out about program eligibility.

Tickets are available for $10 at the Union County Health Department, 940 London Avenue, Suite 1100 in Marysville and the Union County Memorial Hospital Gift Shop.
