Improve Women's Health at Camden County Conference

Camden County’s upcoming 12th annual Women’s Health Conference offers a wide range of workshops that seek to improve the physical, emotional and financial well-being of women.

The Saturday, Sept. 24 conference, sponsored by the Camden County Freeholder Board, takes place at Eastern Regional High School on Laurel Oak Road in Voorhees. CBS 3’s Pat Ciarocchi will serve as the keynote speaker.

“It’s an informative and fun-filled day that begins at 8 a.m., with more than 60 interactive workshops on subjects ranging from yoga and Zumba dancing to wellness, financial planning, legal issues, how to raise a brighter child and how to juggle career and family,” said Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez, liaison to the Camden County Health Department.

Other offerings include sessions on protecting children on social networking sites, dealing with wrinkles, changing careers and finding a new job.

Sessions tend to fill up early, Rodriguez added, so registration is recommended.

The conference usually draws about 1,200 women. Participants receive a continental breakfast, box lunch, goodie bag and door prizes. There is also childcare on-site.

The Women’s Health Conference is free. Register for workshops through the Camden County website, or call Camden County Public Affairs at 856-225-5431 for more information. Registrations cannot be taken over the phone.
