MANISTEE COUNTY — Munson Healthcare and Mary Free Bed at Munson will host a free community health event to discuss menopause and whole-body wellness.
The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. May 7 at the Vogue Theatre located at 383 River Street.
The program includes a social hour with hors d’oeuvres followed by a screening of the documentary “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence of Menopause” and a live panel discussion.
The initiative follows successful sessions held last year in Cadillac and Frankfort, where participants discussed health topics that are often left unspoken. Clinical experts will provide insights on menopause, pelvic and abdominal rehabilitation and general wellness topics that impact women at every stage of life.
“Last year’s events made it clear there is a strong desire for trusted information and real conversation around women’s health,” Stephanie Fitzgerald said. “Bringing this experience to Manistee allows us to continue that dialogue in a space that feels inclusive, supportive and empowering.”
The multidisciplinary panel includes:
Stephanie Fitzgerald, DO, obstetrics and gynecology at Manistee HospitalElizabeth Moore, MD, women’s health at Frankfort Medical GroupEsther Sigurdardottir, director of rehabilitation at Mary Free Bed at MunsonSherry Joanette, FNP-C, urology at Manistee HospitalSally Somsel, PT, MDT, pelvic floor therapist at Mary Free Bed at Munson
