Public Health is also helping coordinate the scheduling of mammograms during the Women’s Night Out event for anyone interested, so the same phone number can be used for anyone scheduling a screening exam for that evening.
Other highlights include massages. Several experts will be on hand to provide information about nutrition, breast health, gynecological health, occupational and physical therapy, heart health, and diabetes education.
While pre-registration is encouraged for screening mammograms and the massages provided by Iowa Lakes, if schedules allow, walk-ins will be welcomed.
