Bones, Moans & Groans : A Lecture Series for Women

With the New Year come New Year’s resolutions…

If you – or someone you know – made a resolution to get back into health, or take care of this nagging little pain here or there, Bon Secours is there to answer the call. Many programs are kicking off again this month, including our Bon Secours for Women lecture series.

Our first series is Bones, Moans & Groans, a program of Bon Secours for Women in partnership with the Bon Secours Orthopaedic Institute. The program is designed as a forum for women to interact with health care providers and discover the breaking news on how to screen for, prevent and treat various orthopaedic issues. It features lectures that specifically stress how orthopaedic diseases and pain may manifest themselves differently in women and how there may be disparities in the treatment and outcome in women.

Answering your questions about joints, bones, aches and pains. Our panel of experts will address your concerns about orthopaedic injuries and conditions. From your spine to your feet, you’ll learn about prevention, treatment options and the latest trends in women’s orthopaedic care.

Enjoy free health screenings (posture screenings courtesy of Bon Secours In Motion, bone density screenings in Suffolk and Newport News, and body fat testing in Suffolk and Virginia Beach, courtesy of the Bon Secours Weight Loss Institute), door prizes, giveaways and vitamin-D-rich refreshments.
