Annual Women’s Health Experience Set Nov. 11
Women often neglect their own health due to busy careers, home lives, raising children and hectic households. The holidays often exacerbate that issue with the added stress of increased visits, expectations, family-issues, financial difficulties and more all coming to a head.
This month brings a chance to stop and reset with an informational yet enjoyable experience. It even comes with child care.
Sparrow Eaton Hospital’s Women’s Health Experience is an opportunity for women in all phases of life to focus on their own wants and needs prior to the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

This interactive event includes a wealth of information, free lunch, a self-defense workshop, health screenings, wine tasting and local retail vendors. Each attendee also receives a complimentary gift. This year the retail vendor area is back with additional businesses, including Studio Marketplace, Reflections Boutique and more. Many of these vendors will offer holiday specials and drawings.
