It is crucial that women take the time for themselves and maintain their health as well. Essentia Health-Fosston is hosting a women’s health day on Monday. September 13th. Christina Leonard, a family medicine nurse practitioner at Essentia Health-Fosston sa’s the focus for the day will be on women’s health and education.

Annual well-woman visits and routine screenings for breast and cervical cancer are a vital component of women’s health. While mammograms should begin at age 45, health professionals recommend discussing the screening with your medical provider earlier.
