Montana’s Women 4 Wellness health fair, a much-anticipated annual event, is offering more than 30 free screenings this year for conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Many participants in previous years said they came for screenings they otherwise could not afford.
The annual Women 4 Wellness health fair, credited with saving lives, will offer more than 30 screenings this year, helping Flathead Indian tribal members and other women in Lake County detect conditions ranging from breast cancer and diabetes to heart disease and thyroid problems. AARP Montana is cosponsoring the event on Thursday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at Salish Kootenai College in Pablo.
Caregiving can be exhausting. The 2017 Lifespan Respite Annual Summit, to be held May 10 at the Wingate Hotel in Helena, aims to help family caregivers refuel and recharge.
