<\/a><\/p>\nMTMC President and CEO Doug Archer notes, \u201cIt\u2019s important not to overlook significant, everyday health issues as we continue navigating pandemic impacts and challenges. This workshop is presented with that in mind \u2013 focusing on key elements of women\u2019s physical AND mental health. We believe that everyone has a woman in their life that could benefit from what we will learn and share with each other during this special one hour online event. \u201d<\/p>\n
He adds, \u201cOctober is probably best known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month \u2013 a movement MTMC has actively supported for decades. Tina Macuha, anchor of Good Day Sacramento on KMAX\/CW-31, continues to be engaged in our efforts to raise awareness in the foothill region and will make a special appearance during this workshop. She was set to headline our Steps to Kick Cancer event again this year but it has been canceled due to COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n
Archer explains, \u201cOctober is also recognized nationally as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We know this threat is ongoing \u2013 and now, increasing \u2013 due to struggles and stress associated with the pandemic. This prompted us to include our local expert partners in covering this very important topic in our workshop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelli Coane, Chief Administrative Director of the Resource Connection, will lead that discussion about Empowering Individuals Seeking Freedom from Toxic Relationships. She will also offer a virtual tour of their facilities in both San Andreas and Murphys.<\/p>\n
Other presenters include Gynecologist Ali Parsa, M.D.; Radiologist Pardeep Athwal, M.D.; and Debbie Sellick, Mark Twain Health Care District Board Member. They will cover a variety of health topics \u2013
\nRoutine Wellness and Reproductive Health
\nMinimally Invasive GYNO Surgeries
\nBreast Cancer Awareness
\nMammograms: Not Scary Any More<\/p>\n
