THE PURPOSE
It’s a fun “Girls Night Out” with health education sprinkled in, presented by Highland Hospital and the Spirit of Women program. The event will benefit women’s health education initiatives at Highland Hospital.
THE PROGRAM
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy hearty appetizers, drinks, and desserts. The first glass of wine is on us, then guests will enjoy a cash bar.The evening begins with “indulgence time” -- wine-tasting, liqueur-tasting, massages, a photo booth, fashion consultations, artisan “mini-painting” stations, and other activities. Then guests move into the ballroom.
Comedy troupe EstroFest will perform a short segment and then the door prize drawings will begin.
The second part of Docs & Divas is modeled after a “speed dating/networking” format where guests have the chance to interact with several doctors quickly. Guests will sit at one round table and meet four different Highland Hospital providers, as they stop by to share health tips in a ten-minute “speed” information session on the topics below. There will also be a large display area devoted to OB-GYN so guests can ask questions on maternity issues, menopause, and more.
