Save Your Lemons & Share the Love: MRHC Celebrates Women’s Health
Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is proud to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October by offering opportunities to support, honor, and educate women in the community.
Honoring Survivors with Flower Deliveries
In partnership with Kristina’s Flowers, MRHC is offering a unique way to honor breast cancer survivors again this year. Throughout October, MRHC invites community members, businesses, and organizations to nominate local breast cancer survivors to receive a surprise floral arrangement.
Bouquets will be delivered to cancer survivors within a 30-mile radius of Manning every Friday in October.
To nominate someone or sponsor an arrangement for $40, please call Kristina at (712) 655-2004. Payments can be made at Kristina’s Flowers.
“Save Your Lemons” Women’s Health Event
In addition to honoring survivors, MRHC is encouraging women to take an active role in their own health.
Women of all ages are invited to attend “Save Your Lemons: Women’s Health Across the Ages,” a free event that focuses on empowering women to take charge of their health and wellness. The event will be held on Tuesday, October 28th, at Brickhaus Brews in Manning from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m., with the keynote presentation beginning at 5:30 p.m.
This is an opportunity for women to learn about important health topics—from hormones to healthy aging—and connect with other women and healthcare professionals.
At 5:30 p.m., there will be a keynote presentation, Women’s Health Across the Ages, by Family Practice Provider Courtney Rupiper, PA-C, and Radiology Director Abby Drees, RT. Wellness sessions focused on nutrition, fitness, and stress management will follow.
The event will also feature health screenings, local vendors, raffle prizes, and take-home resources.
“We want to remind women how important it is to get an annual physical at all age levels because your body is constantly changing,” explained Rupiper. “It is important to be seen regularly so we can decide what screenings we need to do. We work with every patient to individualize their health care plan, determining what is best for them at their stage in life.”
Most insurance plans cover annual well-woman appointments. Patients are encouraged to check with their insurance provider in advance to understand what is covered under their wellness and prevention benefits.
To schedule an appointment, call MRHC’s Family Practice Clinic at (712) 655-8100.
