Focused on a theme of “adaptability, resiliency, hope,” this year’s conference will feature six main sessions, a poetry reading, one breakout session and three panel discussions concerning caregiving for disabled family members, barriers to wellness and pelvic floor health/prolapse. The conference also will offer insights into managing chronic pain, acknowledging the healing power of humor, and informational sessions on cervical cancer, self-care and the factors influencing women’s health and well-being during a pandemic.
The conference is hosted by the Olson Center for Women’s Health, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Nebraska Medicine and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
