NORTHWEST INDIANA – Registration for Franciscan Health’s Strong, Healthy, Empowered (SHE) Women’s Health Conferences is now open.

“SHE is designed to create opportunities for women to thrive,” said Danielle Crowder, director of Community Health Improvement for Franciscan Health. “By connecting women with the resources, support and compassionate care they need, we are investing in healthier families, stronger communities and brighter futures.”

The event will celebrate women’s health, wellness and personal growth through every stage of life. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in expert-led panel discussions on reproductive health, infant and maternal health, perimenopause and menopause while gaining practical tools for resilience, mindfulness and intentional self-care through the featured Power of Reset presentation.

Participants can also connect with community exhibitors, participate in health screenings and enjoy line dancing in an atmosphere designed to educate, inspire and empower women.
