Focus on Urogynecology
Join us for two events in April focusing on the latest treatments available in urogynecology. This medical specialty offers relief women suffering from incontinence, prolapse, emptying disorders, pelvic discomfort, and overactive bladder. Mary Anna Denman, M.D., is assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, OHSU School of Medicine.
Keeping it All In: Lifestyle and Treatment options for Prolapse
Vaginal or Uterine prolapse affects many women who have given birth, (and some who haven’t) and can range in severity and impact on your life. Dr. Mary Anna Denman will guide you through the variety of options for treating this condition.
Incontinence: It's More Common Than You Think
Gotta go all the time? Explore the less talked about side of women’s health and learn why many women suffer from incontinence or vaginal prolapse after having babies or as they get older. We will discuss what can we do to keep our pelvic floors healthy and what surgical and nonsurgical options are available today.

Special Event: The Body Toxic Webinar
In honor of earth month, we are pleased to announce a very special Webinar opportunity featuring local talent Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic: How the Hazardous Chemicals of Everyday Things Transform our Health and Wellbeing. Join us in an earth-friendly transportation free gathering using your own phone and computer.
The Body Toxic: What Consumers Should Know About the Hazardous Chemistry of Everyday Things
The webinar will detail the health risks posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals and provides you with practical and specific means to limit your unwitting exposures to the hazardous chemicals found in everyday things.
Investigative journalist Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic, discusses the concept of “chemical body burden” and details how consumers can protect themselves against health threats posed by chemicals found in everyday items. These include perfluorinated compounds in non-stick cookware and food packaging, phthalates in plastic, flame retardants in electronics and furniture, and the now-infamous bisphenol A in polycarbonate bottles and the linings of food and beverage cans.
Webinar (internet connection and phone line required)
