The African American Museum of Bucks County is hosting its first Women’s Health Forum, in partnership with St. Mary Medical Center and Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic, on Saturday, May 6, at the First Baptist Church of Langhorne, 215 E. Richardson Ave., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This community event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested at infoaambc.org/events.
Local radio legend Patty Jackson, from iHeartRadio, is set to moderate the health forum. St. Mary’s doctors will speak about the importance of women’s health. Doctors Julene Evans Murage, MD; Deon Vigilance, MD; Kristin Krupa, MD; and Jessica Barton, DO, are expected to speak about topics like disease management, heart health, gynecological health and breast cancer. Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A with the doctors.
“Our physicians are excited to join the AAMBC’s Women’s Health Forum,” said Jeanette Stemen, program administrator of women’s health at St. Mary Medical Center. “This partnership is something we are excited to continue in the future.”
The AAMBC will do a presentation on the impact and significance of Henrietta Lacks to kick off the forum. Linda Salley, executive director and president of the AAMBC, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with St. Mary’s for the event. We cannot thank the St. Mary’s doctors enough for taking time out of their busy schedules to help educate the community. This forum is going to be a wonderful opportunity to shed light on the importance of women’s health and how to best take care of oneself.”
Following the presentations, the AAMBC is hosting a healthy luncheon. The food of the luncheon will be provided by EventRoostr – The Falls Banquet, located in Morrisville.
