Positively Pink Women’s Health Series at Wood County Hospital

(Submitted by Wood County Hospital)

The Positively Pink Women’s Health Series meets quarterly and covers a range of topics important to women in the community. The event begins with vendor tables offering pertinent health information on popular women’s health topics. Each event offers an expert speaker that presents a topic to improve women’s health or offer solutions to common problems women face.

The next Positively Pink event occurs on Thursday, Sept. 14. Physical activity is a prescription for improving your health. An inactive lifestyle contributes to a variety of conditions including heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes and cancer. But exercise provides innumerable benefits to combat these health concerns.

Dr. Dalynn Badenhop, director of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing at the University of Toledo Medical Center, will explain the benefits of regular physical activity and to discuss some practical ways to make exercise a permanent part of daily life.
