Menopause Awareness — The Myth & The Madness

Menopause The Myth & The Madness

In our Everglades Room, 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.

Join us for ladies tea as we raise awareness about menopause and the stigma.

Dr. Pearla Del Pina, Vice Chief from the Memorial Healthcare System, will be our special event guest speaker. Dr. Del Pina is a primary care physician at Memorial Healthcare System. She cares for patients with a broad array of medical conditions including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid conditions, mental health conditions and more. She also specializes in women's health and provides annual wellness exams, breast exams and Pap smears, as well as other preventive visits.

Dr. Del Pina says, "Neither of my parents went to a doctor on a regular basis for checkups or any type of screening. They only saw the doctor when they had a symptom or felt ill, which for many people is too late. My difficult experience with family illnesses inspired me to become a family physician and promote healthy lifestyles while educating patients on the importance of preventive medicine and the benefits of having a trusted family doctor."

She enjoys being the first contact for most patients and being proactive through genuine communication, education and early diagnosis. "It's a joy to collaborate with patients to create health plans and celebrate with them as they achieve their personal health goals," states Dr. Del Pina.

Registration is required.
