Preventive health topic of Ladies Night Out

At the upcoming July 26 Ladies Night Out Program, the topic will be Preventive Health for women, men and children (including immunizations and checkups).

Preventive care is the most important step you can take to manage your health, because many of the top risk factors leading to illness and premature death are preventable.

The guest speaker will be Dr. Alex Borun who specializes in Family Practice. Family Practice is the branch of medicine concerning the total health care of the person and the family. A family physician has the skills and knowledge to provide care and health maintenance education for all ages and is trained to diagnose and treat each member of the family.

Ladies Night Out is a partnership between Macon County Public Health and Angel Medical Center to provide free monthly programs on a variety of health topics for women with an emphasis on the importance of regular health screenings.

The Franklin Bi-Lo and Fatz of Franklin are corporate sponsors of the programs and provide snacks and door prizes each month. These programs are held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at AMC.
