Healthy Happy Hour will also feature a presentation from Simona Moore, CNP, titled “Finding a Healthy Balance.” Moore is a certified nurse practitioner with a private practice in Mount Vernon. “I will be speaking from personal experience and what I have seen in my practice as to why patients live chaotic, sometimes stressful lives,” said Moore.

National Women’s Health Week is an observance led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health. The goal is to empower women to make their health a priority. The week also serves as a time to help women understand what steps they can take to improve their health.
