Arm yourself with the strategies to take charge of your health. Each year this event brings a nationally recognized keynote speaker and highlights one physician local to Denton County with two other speakers addressing various dimensions of wellness. We have many sponsors that all keep the cost of this half-day event low for the community. In fact, just $35 covers all 4 speakers, lunch, access to exhibitors and free chair massages, Power of a Healthy Woman bags full of give-aways, refreshments, and community resources!

This year’s keynote speaker is Mark Fenton, the Walking Guru.
