JUPITER, Fla. – On Thursday, March 1, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation’s Women’s
Health Advisory Council is hosting its inaugural Women’s Health
& Wellness Conference at PGA National Resort and Spa. The conference
is focused on women’s health and wellness, including orthopedics,
stroke risk factors and prevention, heart health, cosmetic trends and
stress management. One of the highlights of the day will be keynote speaker
Jillian Michaels, wellness expert and life coach, formerly of The Biggest Loser.
The conference kicks off Wednesday, February 28 with a cocktail reception
at The Spa at PGA National. Guests will enjoy mini spa services, a taste
of exclusive wines produced and provided by the Hill Family Estate, and
receive a copy of Michaels’ book, Unlimited: A Three-Step Plan for
Achieving Your Dreams.
Some of the area’s top physicians and specialists will inform women
about vital health topics such as orthopedics, sleep, mindfulness, nutrition,
stroke, heart and even cosmetic surgery trends during six different sessions
presented throughout the day. Guests will start the day with optional
chair yoga and balance assessments offered by the physical therapy team
from the Cary Grossman Health & Wellness Center at Jupiter Medical
Center. Each registrant can choose three of the six sessions, and all
will attend the keynote presentation by Michaels during lunch.
“We are honored to bring this event to women in South Florida. We
believe the sessions will be extremely educational, fun, and in some cases,
even lifesaving when it comes to tips in the areas of heart and stroke
for women. Additionally, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation is ecstatic
to bring Jillian Michaels to our inaugural Women’s Health &
Wellness Conference, since she is at the forefront of health and wellness,”
said Liv Vesely, President of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation.
Jupiter Medical Center expects more than 100 women of all ages from throughout
and beyond Palm Beach and Martin counties to attend this exciting event.
Tickets for the cocktail reception and conference are $300 per person;
