An Intergenerational Women’s Wellness Event
Hosted by Hot in Charleston
Tuesday, October 18th | The Gibbes Museum, Charleston, SC | 12 to 2 pm
SOLD OUT
Presenting Sponsor MUSC Women’s Health
Be part of a first-of-its-kind women’s health event! We’re bringing together women from different generations in the hottest city in the world to learn about one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman’s life: middle age and peri/menopause.
More than 50 million American women are approaching perimenopause and menopause. Most know surprisingly little about the ways it can change how they feel and live, and alter their relationships with their partners, children, and selves. This will happen at a time of other big changes — aging parents, career shifts, the empty nest. If you’re in your 30s or 40s, you likely don’t have the resources and information you need to enter this life stage. If you’re in your 50s or 60s, you may have questions or insights to share! This panel and luncheon is for us all.
At this special event on October 18th, public figures and medical experts will share ways to navigate this journey with knowledge, humor and grace:
Emcee, Carolyn Murray —
Anchor WCBD-TV, award-winning

health advocate
Moderator, Kerri Devine —
