Med Center Health host women’s conference at Knicely Center

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – At the Knicely Center, a community favorite and important event took place again passing on information to women in the community.

Just A Day For Women, Med Center Health’s Women’s Conference, offered advice, educational opportunities and a chance to decompress. Guest speakers spoke on the importance of mental health and a positive attitude and also the aspects of physical health and taking time for yourself.

Sarah Widener, health and wellness director for Med Center Health, says that taking a break and self care are important for a woman’s overall health.

“You can’t pour from an empty cup. And a lot of us, we spread ourselves really, really fat. And it is not selfish to do self-care. And even if it’s five minutes by yourself, if it’s a ten minute walk around the block, if it’s getting up, after your lunch break, and doing some stretching, those few minutes that you dedicate to yourself, are valuable. And from the top down, we have to take care of ourselves. Because, again, we cannot pour from an empty cup,” Widener said.

Widener also discussed that sometimes there are difficult topics to discuss and discussing these topics with similar individuals will help get someone to discuss any problems with a health provider.

If you were unable to make it to this years conference don’t worry – Med Center is already looking forward to next years event.
