The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders invites the public to attend a free Women’s Health Fair on Wednesday, October 23, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., in the Atrium at Liberty Hall Center, 1085 Morris Avenue, in Union Township. The event is sponsored in partnership with Atlantic Health System/Overlook Medical Center.

The event includes free health screenings and giveaways, and a panel discussion featuring leading female physicians in breast surgery, neurology, OBGYN, cardiology, primary care, colorectal surgery, and gynecological oncology.

“This is a good opportunity to hear from the experts, get the facts about women’s health issues, and update two important screenings,” said Freeholder Chair Bette Jane Kowalski. “On behalf of the Freeholder Board, I would like to thank Atlantic Health and all of the panelists for contributing their knowledge and experience to this event.”
