“Women make most of the healthcare decisions for their spouses, children, and parents and think about themselves last,” said Aimée C. Gomlak, FACHE, vice president of Women’s Services for Catholic Health. “The WomenCare Day of Health gives them the opportunity to focus on their own needs in a fun and informative atmosphere.”

All area women are invited to attend the WomenCare Day of Health. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. and seating is limited. Ticket donation is $30 ($250 for a table of 10), with all proceeds benefiting the Neonatal Intensive Care Units at Sisters of Charity Hospital and Mercy Hospital of Buffalo.
