CHI - KentuckyOne Health (Western)

THE 12TH ANNUAL WOMEN'S WELLNESS AFFAIR will be held on March 20 at Claudia Sanders Dinner House. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the evening will feature a health fair, delicious meal, keynote speaker and silent auction. The evening will close with the presentation of the Body, Mind & Spirit Award. Arguably the highlight of the evening, this award is presented to a local woman who embodies wellness and is passionate about improving the health of others. Nominations come from the Volunteer Auxiliary at Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, part of KentuckyOne Health. Funds raised during the night support the Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's Foundation, and are used for scholarships for local high school students. The Tools for Wellness It's no secret that women often put the health of others before their own. By connecting women with local vendors, the health fair provides resources that women can use to help prioritize their health. Following the health fair and meal, Stephanie Mayfield Gibson, MD, vice president of population health at KentuckyOne Health and chief medical officer for KentuckyOne Health Partners, will give the 2017 keynote address. To learn more about the event, purchase tickets or inquire about corporate sponsorship, call 502.647.4369. The Women's Wellness Affair spotlights women's health issues and interests and offers an opportunity for us to recognize women for their accomplishments and community contributions. This empowering event couldn't happen without the dedication and hard work of our volunteers. It is with honor that I serve with them. — DEBORAH SMITH, PRESIDENT OF THE JEWISH HOSPITAL SHELBYVILLE VOLUNTEER AUXILIARY THE 2017 WOMEN'S WELLNESS AFFAIR RAISES FUNDS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS. INVESTING IN OUR YOUTH The Volunteer Auxiliary at Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, part of KentuckyOne Health, hosts the Women's Wellness Affair every year. Monies raised during the event fund scholarships for local high school students who have completed 50 hours of service through the Jewish Hospital Shelbyville Summer Teen Volunteer Program. Most of the students who apply for scholarships are pursuing health care careers and plan to return to the Shelbyville area to start their careers. By supporting the scholarship fund, you not only support local students, but also help ensure quality, local health care for generations to come.
