Screening Tests and Women’s Health
Wednesday, Sept. 15, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Normally,
we only go to see the doctor when we are sick. Women need to pay close
attention to those annual visits and the screenings that are required
for every stage of life. Dr. Michael Evers, Assistant Professor in the
UNC Women’s Primary Healthcare Division, shares screenings that are
necessary and tips for the annual gynecology visit.
Cholesterol Numbers: The Real Discussion
Wednesday, Sept. 22, 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
September
is Cholesterol Education Month and the UNC Wellness Center, the Lipid
Prevention Clinic at UNC, and McLendon Clinical Laboratories have
combined efforts to promote cholesterol education and screenings. Join
Phil Mendys, PharmD, Adjunct Professor of Medicine and Pharmacotherapy
and Co-Director of the Lipid Prevention Clinic at UNC, as he discusses
the “numbers” behind the assessment of cardiovascular disease and risk
assessment. Cholesterol numbers may seem complicated if you don’t know
how to interpret them. Dr. Mendys will help us to gain a better
understanding of their meaning to our overall heart health.
Reinventing Yourself at Midlife and Beyond
Wednesday, Sept. 22, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Join
professional coach Vicki Field to gain simple, down-to-earth strategies
and inspirational guidance to successfully face down midlife crisis and

You’ll learn how to:
- Navigate the stages and stumbling blocks of midlife change
- Zero in on what feeds your soul and target new possibilities in your life
