“Our physicians are excited to join the AAMBC’s Women’s Health Forum,” said Jeanette Stemen, program administrator of women’s health at St. Mary Medical Center. “This partnership is something we are excited to continue in the future.”

The AAMBC will do a presentation on the impact and significance of Henrietta Lacks to kick off the forum. Linda Salley, executive director and president of the AAMBC, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with St. Mary’s for the event. We cannot thank the St. Mary’s doctors enough for taking time out of their busy schedules to help educate the community. This forum is going to be a wonderful opportunity to shed light on the importance of women’s health and how to best take care of oneself.”

Following the presentations, the AAMBC is hosting a healthy luncheon. The food of the luncheon will be provided by EventRoostr – The Falls Banquet, located in Morrisville.
