Girls’ Night Out at University of Utah South Jordan Health Center - Follow Up Review

I've decided to make the University of Utah Girls Night Out this weeks Local Business Spotlight. While, Doctors and the University aren't small business, this event is, what I consider to be, an important issue. Who of us can't use some free unsolicited professional medical advice, right?

When the University of Utah, invited me to come out and review their event, I was honored for the opportunity And, in truth, I would have gone anyway; except for one thing… just like you, I'm busy. Lets face it we all have pressures in life that keep us from breaking out of the normal routine. But, this event is an important one for women. I urge you, the next time they have one, grab a girlfriend, sister, mom or meet me there and take the time to go.

We experienced healthy cooking demonstrations, free eye exams, advice for new and soon to be mothers, cancer experts are on hand to answer your concerns, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, infertility experts and you can even partake in a free massage. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

The new state of the art Medical facility at Daybreak, is beautiful and welcoming. I felt pampered with the free Hors d' oeuvres, sparkling juice and berries and even a coat check!

The highlight of the evening, was hearing Mary Nickles speak. She is gracious, motivating, funny and one of the most inspiring speakers I have had the honor of meeting. Her open and honest words about her fight with cancer and how it effected those around her, are reminders to us all to get checked. As Mary puts it, everyone with boobs is at risk.

Getting regular checkups, is easy to put off and often difficult to discuss. The environment was comfortable and made it easy to talk about. While I'm up to date on my mammograms, I was inspired to make a long overdue appointment for my first and dreaded Colonoscopy. Thank you Mary and the University Health Care Center for putting the bee in my bottom
