Women’s Health Initiative: Small Steps to Healthier Lives

Sentara Potomac Hospital has partnered with da Vinci® Surgery, About.com, Curves International, and the Office on Women’s Health to help spread the word about the importance of taking control of your health with diet, exercise and annual gynecologic exams.

At these free events, doctors and health professionals from Sentara Potomac Hospital will discuss important wellness information and how to take small steps to a healthier life. They’ll also discuss other women’s health issues and the advantages of Sentara Potomac Hospital’s da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system for gynecology and pelvic surgeries. As an extra bonus, Curves is offering a special promotion for participants (details at Curves.com).
