Healthy Woman program features cancer survivor

FALLBROOK — June’s Healthy Woman program, held at Caffé Primo, featured Mary Ellen Langlois, a cancer survivor who captivated the audience of 70 with her inspirational story and lessons on how to understand and deal with life changes. In addition, Dr. Hanh Le, a board certified OB/GYN with Graybill Medical Group and member of Fallbrook Hospital Medical Staff, discussed the new HPV cervical cancer vaccine and the importance of regular well-woman checkups. The event was sponsored by Coldwell Banker Landmark Group.

The Healthy Woman community collaborative is coordinated by Monique Murphy-Mijares and Jan Mangus of Fallbrook Hospital and supported by an advisory council of community representatives and by local business partners. This free community resource program features a series of monthly educational programs designed to provide women with information on how to take care of their emotional, physical and fiscal wellbeing.
