WARE — Area women are invited to attend a pre-holiday event sponsored by Baystate Health’s Every Women Program on Wednesday, Dec. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Baystate Mary Lane in Ware.

“We welcome women of all ages to join this pre-holiday event,” said Susan Fontaine, senior coordinator of Loyalty Programs for Baystate Health. “This is a great opportunity for women to relax, learn, socialize, shop, and even receive some health screenings prior to the holiday season kicking off.”

Dr. Oscar Martinez, medical director, Baystate Women’s Health for Baystate Health’s Eastern Region, will present “Menopause: The Hot Topic” from 6 to 7 p.m. as part of the evening’s offerings. The program will include information about menopause, including symptoms, treatments, hormone-replacement therapy, nutrition, exercise, stress, sexuality, and alternative treatments.
