A cocktail reception and panel discussion featuring authorities in women’s brain health, heart and stroke, and cancer.

Hear powerful messages and scientific discoveries from experts on the best ways to guard against disease, unique differences for women, and the control that we do have to maintain our health – throughout our bodies and all through our lives.

The most recent scientific findings on women’s health will be shared and discussed by the panel and suggestions for adopting risk modifying behaviours across disease states will be highlighted. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and get the answers that we need to know about how these diseases are connected, and how best to safeguard our health throughout our lives.
