HMH Pascack Valley to host Welcoming Wellness program for women

Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center invites women of all ages to attend “Woman to Woman: Welcoming Wellness” on Oct. 17.

The dinner event, from 6-9 p.m. at Auroa Restaurant in Old Tappan, will provide attendees with the unique opportunity to learn about medical issues and solutions from women providing care in their own community in a casual and comfortable setting.

At this event, seven-panel speakers with diverse specialties will discuss various health conditions relevant to women. Topics will include wellness visits, selecting a family physician, breast health, back pain, the importance of health screenings, and prioritizing self-care. All speakers will also answer questions from the audience.

“Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where women can discuss their healthcare needs,” Dr. Danielle Groves, physiatrist at Pascack Valley Medical Center, said.

“Attending this event will enable women to meet female physicians and health care providers from different specialties so they can learn ways to take control of their health and gain an understanding about the types of care available to them right here in their own community.”

Participating on the speaker panel from Pascack Valley Medical Center will include:

  • Dr. Danielle Groves, physiatrist;
  • Dr. Sylva Takvorian, internal medicine;
  • Dr. Adriana Suarez-Ligon, breast surgeon;
  • Eva Macsai, women’s health nurse practitioner;
  • Nicole Hicks, director of Women’s Services;
  • Dr. Kari Colen, plastic surgeon;
  • Pierre Juliano, director of The Center of Therapy and Rehabilitation.

“We believe this event will resonate deeply with our guests, as our speakers connect with their values and concerns. Women of all ages and backgrounds face similar pressures and time limitations,” Groves said. “However, it’s crucial not to let these distractions prevent us from prioritizing our health and well-being.”

HMH officials say attendees will learn about several common medical conditions that affect women of all ages and how to handle them at this special evening for women, hosted by women.
