Rep. DeLeo to Host 15th Annual Women’s Health Forum Oct. 18

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, in conjunction with the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, will host the 15th annual Women’s Health Forum on Thursday,  October 18th at 6:00 PM at the A. T. Cummings School located on Hermon Street in Winthrop. Addressing this year’s forum will be Jenny Johnson of NECN, New England Cable News.

“After fifteen years of bringing practitioners and professionals to the community, people in Winthrop and Revere have come to count on this forum as an important source for medical information and for their yearly flu shot. Medical treatments and advice change so rapidly that it’s difficult to keep up. That’s why this forum is such a good opportunity to talk with experts and get the best information out there,” Speaker DeLeo said.

This year, Speaker DeLeo is proud to announce that Jenny Johnson of NECN will be the guest speaker. Jenny Johnson has been the Executive Producer of NECN’s restaurant show, TV Diner, since 2007, and is the star of the TV Diner segment, The Jenny Cam. She is also NECN’s Culture and Lifestyle Reporter. Raised in Marblehead, Jenny graduated with honors from the University of New Hampshire where she majored in Communications.

In addition to the keynote address, participants will have access to a number of different health-related products, information and tests, including blood-pressure. Free Flu Shots will be administered and light refreshments will be served.
