Elizabethtown, NY – What if taking care of your health felt less like an appointment and more like a night out with friends?

That's the idea behind the upcoming Women's Health Forum, taking place on Friday, October 23 at 5 pm at Boquet Valley Central School. Hosted by University of Vermont Health Network – Elizabethtown Community Hospital, the free community event brings together health education, wellness resources and opportunities to connect with local organizations.  

Guests will also enjoy live music, refreshments and a comedy performance. Whether someone is looking for practical health information, local support resources or simply a chance to spend time with friends, the event aims to provide a welcoming environment where women can learn, laugh and leave feeling empowered to take charge of their health.

Organizers hope the event will encourage women to prioritize their well-being while providing an enjoyable evening that brings people together.

The Women's Health Forum is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Anyone interested can sign up online or call 518-585-3761.
