Women’s health series focuses on Nutrition in July

NORWICH — “As we age, our nutritional needs change. And with so much conflicting information out there, it can be difficult to make the right choices when it comes to our diet,” said Janice Minutti.

Minutti has a passion for helping others improve their health by better managing their diet and nutrition. It’s a passion she shares with her colleague Lindsay Skiechs. And as Registered Dietitians at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital, they are able to put I into practice every day.

While the pair typically work one-on-one with patients and their families, they’ll be sharing their knowledge with a larger audience on Monday night as part of the hospital’s 2018 Women’s Health Series.

The event will take place Monday night at Bohemian Moon, 103 W. Main Street in Norwich. An optional buffet and cash bar will be available at 6 p.m., with the presentation and discussion to start at 7 p.m.

“We’ll discuss a number of nutritional topics including weight management, dietary strategies for managing menopause and how our metabolisms change as we age,” explained Minutti. “We’ll also share how to naturally incorporate important nutrients into your diet.”

According to Skiechs, nutrition is an important topic for women of all ages.

“Poor nutrition is a contributing lifestyle factor to all of the leading threats to women’s health - from heart disease and stroke, to cancer and chronic respiratory disease,” she said.

“So we’re excited to be able to break the topic of nutrition down in a way that people can use to make positive changes to their diet that will support their overall health.”

The format for the evening is one the Skiechs says will encourage discussion and conversation.

“This series is about connecting women with information that’s relevant to them, and giving them the opportunity to learn from both health care professionals and from each other,” she explained

The 2018 Women’s Health Series will continue on the second Monday of the month through November. Future topics will include sleep, joint health, breast health and diabetes. For more information, call 337-4282 or email melissa_stagnaro@uhs.org.

UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital is a member of United Health Services, a locally owned not-for-profit 916-bed hospital and health care system serving the Greater Binghamton region from more than 40 locations around New York’s Southern Tier.
