About Women's Health Awareness Day

As women, we take care of everyone — our spouses, children, parents, other family members, and even friends. However, we tend to neglect ourselves, especially when it concerns our health. This community event was FREE to the women of Durham, North Carolina and surrounding counties. It provided health awareness, education, information, resources, and on-site health screenings.
