OSKALOOSA — Mahaska Health is inviting the community to their annual Women’s Health Night.
This year’s Women’s Health Night will take place on Tuesday, October 14th, from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Gateway Church in Oskaloosa, IA. The Health Fair for attendees will be 5:30 pm to 6:15 pm with dinner seating and program to begin at 6:15 pm. Dr. Jesse Van Maanen, Mahaska Health Surgery Medical Director, will be serving as the Master of Ceremonies. Women are invited to join an evening of fellowship, food, health information, and community. Pre-registration is encouraged.
Experts from Mahaska Health will present on topics such as mammography, medical imaging, general surgery, surgical oncology, cancer care, ob-gyn, and family medicine. The evening will begin with a dinner followed by presentations, after which guests will have the opportunity to receive free cholesterol and blood sugar checks.
“Women’s Health Night is one of my favorite events of the year because it gives us the chance to connect with women in our community outside of the clinic,” said Dr. Taylar Swartz Summers, OB and Co-Medical Director of the Mahaska Health Birthing Center & GYN. “It’s a time for us to share important health information, answer questions, and remind women that their health and well-being matter. We hope every guest leaves feeling encouraged, supported, and empowered in their health journey.”
The expert panel will include medical leaders from Mahaska Health, Dr. Kiron Nair, Medical Oncology and Hematology specialist, Dr. Tim Breon, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Daniel Kollmorgen, Oncology Medical Director, Dr. Jesse Van Maanen, Surgery Medical Director, Dr. John Pargulski, Cardiology Medical Director, Dr. Taylar Swartz Summers, OB, Birthing Center & GYN Co-Medical Director, Dr. Jordan Hamilton, Family Medicine Specialist and Obstetrics practitioner, and Dr. Jared Nelson, Radiologic Medical Services specialist.
Nationally recognized with award-winning care, Mahaska Health is the first Iowa Critical Access Hospital to be awarded four designated Centers of Excellence in Maternity Care & Birthing Center, Cardiology, General Surgery, and Surgical and Medical Oncology.
