KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Bronson Medical Practices will be hosting the first of two free women’s health events beginning Wednesday, September 25.
The “Bronson Ladies Night Out: Take Care of Yourself and Your Health” events are meant to better educate women on health topics.
“This is gonna be a great event for women to learn how to take care of themselves,” Bronson Breast Surgery and Oncology Physician Dr. Mika Reschke said. “We held this event last year, and the turnout was so good that we are offering it on Wednesday September 25 in Portage and on Wednesday October 2 in Kalamazoo.”
Several women’s health experts will be at these events to discuss a variety of topics.
“Women take care of their children, spouse and everyone else, and now it’s time for them to take care of themselves,” Reschke said. “Attending either of these free health events gives women the opportunity to get the latest health information, hear from experts in the field of breast health imaging, breast cancer prevention, reconstructive surgery and weight management.”
