At the first session in our Women's Health and Wellness Speaker series, Dr. Amanda Thomas and Dr. Traci Iwamoto will provide highlights on gynecological care from puberty through post-menopause.  No matter your age, your ob-gyn can provide a wealth of knowledge on the following:

• When should I have my first gynecological visit?
• Why do I need a pap smear?
• What are the facts about Zika?
• What do I do if I feel a breast lump?
• Why do I need a colonoscopy?
• Why do I still need to see the gynecologist after menopause?

This expert presentation from Dr. Thomas and Dr. Iwamoto will help you feel more comfortable about talking to your ob/gyn and ensure that you get better care for yourself and family.

This event is free and open to the public.
