Sponsored by Baierl Subaru
Thanks to everyone who made our first ever Women's Health & Fitness Expo a huge success!
As a part of Passavant Hospital Foundation's Extending the Care ETC program series, this day-long event featured Seminars, Workshops, Exhibits and Screenings intended to bring it all together on one day, in one place - open to women of all ages (and to the men who love them) and completely Free of charge. It was a day 'just for you" to learn to try new things - and to meet the experts to get answers to questions. It was a chance to make changes - to learn to lead a healthier, more active, more fulfilling life. Programming included opportunities to earn continuing education credits (Certificates of Attendance and Act 48) Opportunities to earn UPMC Health Plan "Take a Healthy Step" points were also available to UPMC employees (who were subscribers). Here were some highlights of that event's programming.
