Intermountain Health to Hold Free Ladies Night Out Events at Seven Hospitals to Celebrate and Support Women’s Health
(PRUnderground) September 16th, 2024
Intermountain Health is excited to offer free Ladies Night Out events at seven hospital locations across Utah in late September through October, to not only help celebrate women’s health, but also to teach women more about their healthcare needs through the various decades of their lives.
Women are often very good at taking care of their loved ones, families and friends, but that can make it difficult for women to prioritize their own health and well-being. Research shows women make 80 percent of the healthcare decisions for their families. So, the more informed they are, the healthier they and their loved ones can be.
The Ladies Night Out events will take place at seven Intermountain hospitals along the Wasatch Front, in the Wasatch Back, and in Sanpete County. Women of any age can attend.
The Intermountain Ladies Night Out schedule is as follows:
- Intermountain LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City: Tuesday, Sept. 24, 6-8 pm.
- Intermountain Riverton Hospital, Thursday, Sept. 26, 6:30-8:30 pm.
- Intermountain Heber Valley Hospital, Wednesday, Oct. 2, 6-8 pm.
- Intermountain Medical Center, Murray: Tuesday, Oct. 8, 6:30-8:30 pm.
- Intermountain Alta View Hospital, Sandy: Wednesday, Oct. 9, 6-8 pm.
- Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden: Thursday, Oct. 10, 5:30-7:30 pm.
- Intermountain Sanpete Valley Hospital, Mt. Pleasant: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 5-7 pm.
“One of the best things about our Ladies Night Out events is the chance to get to know the women’s health providers at your local hospital, to hear from them and talk to them,” said Heather Wall, president of Intermountain LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. “These events give women an awareness and understanding of recommended health screenings and the many healthcare services available for women in our hospitals and clinics and from our community health partners.”
Women will be able to meet and interact with women’s health providers from various medical specialties, such as: women and newborn care, behavioral health, mammography, nutrition, and pediatrics, as well as caregivers who specialize in women’s sports medicine, physical therapy, urology, and breast reconstruction.
“The healthcare decisions women make are vitally important, not just for their own well-being, but also for the health of their families and communities. As we empower women with knowledge, resources, and support to make these decisions, it will help improve the public health outcomes for our communities,” said Wall.
Intermountain Ladies Night Out events offer a fun atmosphere with interactive displays, health screening information and activities for women to hear healthcare experts, or opportunities to create something to take home. There will be healthy food options to sample from hospital chefs, free giveaways, prize drawings and more.
The LDS Hospital Ladies Night Out event will feature a panel of four women’s health-related providers. Women can also get a flu shot at the event or schedule a mammogram. Women can also create and take home a succulent plant arrangement inside a mini pumpkin.
Women will leave each event with an increased knowledge of health screenings or services they might need for whatever stage of life they’re in from adolescence to childbirth, to the postpartum period to helping to prevent breast cancer with regular mammograms, and through the ups and downs of menopause and beyond.
