Doctor Provides Health Tips for College Women

Professional health advice for high school and college girls will be offered in "Making Healthy Choices Away from Home," from 7-8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 9, in the Rasmussen South Room of the Schaumburg Township District Library, 130 S. Roselle Rd.

Presenter Dr. M. Susan Scanlon is author of "The Gyne's Guide for College Women: How to Have a Healthy, Safe and Happy Four Years." According to Dr. Scanlon, young women are faced with many critical health choices, often without enough information. She invites mothers and their daughters to join her for a presentation that will not only provide valuable information, but also inspire young women to make lifestyle choices that will positively effect their mental, physical and emotional health. Topics will include maintaining a healthy weight, foods and vitamins, abnormal periods, STDs, decisions about sexuality, handling stress, sexual assault prevention and more. Dr. Scanlon's book will be available for purchase following the lecture.

Registration is required for this free program. To register, call (847) 923-3347 or visit the Information Desk on the second floor of the library.
