Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System Joins Spirit of Women October 22, 2007 - Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System is ready to host over 500 women at the Spirit of Women debut event, Spirit Girls Night Out. The event planned for Thursday, October 25th, promises a fun evening for all who attend. The event will be held at First Presbyterian Church in the newly constructed Family Life Center. The event will be memorable and will be the first taste of how fun, health education and prevention can be. "Spirit Girls Night Out is meant to be a fun atmosphere where women can learn how to stay healthy, while still enjoying a night out with the girls," said Pam Snyder, Director or Marketing for MHHS and Spirit Coordinator. "The event will be very different from any other event in our area. Attendees will find themselves keeping busy and entertained throughout the evening," added Snyder. Options at the event include, engaging in the health fair and business section, enjoying dinner at your leisure, physician mini-presentations or watching demonstrations. The large gym area will serve as the exhibition central. Over 55 interactive booths await, offering free goodies and information, special discounts, shopping, mini facials, mini massages, scrapbooking, free blood sugar checks, free BP checks, permanent cosmetic demonstrations, and did we mention shopping. The dinner, catered by Rothchild's, will be served from 5:00 - 7:30 PM. Ladies can enjoy the meal at their leisure, with no rush to eat, and no dishes to wash. The event will be trademarked by the Physician Mini-Presentations. No event of this size can be planned without a village of volunteers. "The Spirit of Women Advisory Board consists of a group of phenomenal women who have donated their time and energy for a better cause, to make women's health accessible, interactive and fun, stated Richard Clark, CEO/President MHHS.
