MARSHFIELD CLINIC TO HOST LADIES NIGHT OUT EVENT FOCUSING ON DIABETES

Local women are invited to interact with others and learn about women’s health issues at a free Ladies’ Night Out program sponsored by Marshfield Clinic on Tuesday, October 27, at the Weston Regional Medical Center campus.

Roger Kulstad, M.D., endocrinologist at Marshfield Clinic Weston Center, will present “Your Top 10 Questions about Diabetes.” He will discuss the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, risk factors, diagnoses, treatment options and diet. By understanding and managing diabetes a fulfilling, active lifestyle is possible.

Social time for the event begins at 6:30 p.m., with the education program from 7 – 8 p.m. The Weston Regional Medical Center is located off Highway X and Weston Avenue. Take Cranberry Boulevard to parking lot 3; enter through door No. 3 for the program.

Ladies’ Night Out takes place the fourth Tuesday night every month and has a dual purpose, said Ellen Schumann, M.D., medical director of Women’s Wellness at Marshfield Clinic.

“The prevention and education component increases women’s knowledge base, giving them support in areas they’ve told us they struggle,” she said. “It’s also an opportunity to socialize and meet women with similar interests or issues.”

There is no charge for the program, but pre-registration is requested. To register, please call 715-393-2345.

The Marshfield Clinic system provides patient care, research and education with 45 locations in northern, central and western Wisconsin, making it one of the largest comprehensive medical systems in the United States.
