Educator and Author Joins Mercy Memorial’s 9th Annual Women’s Health Forum

Ardmore — Mercy Memorial Health Center is hosting its ninth annual Women’s Health Forum, featuring internationally renowned educator and award-winning author Michele Borba, Ed.D. She is recognized for her practical, solution-based parenting strategies to strengthen children’s behavior, self-esteem, moral development and build strong families. More than 1,000 women are slated to attend this ever popular event at the Ardmore Convention Center this Monday, March 26

As the keynote speaker of the evening, Borba will share inspiring stories, engaging real-life examples and instant tips to cultivate these traits that matter most in our children’s lives, based on her latest book Parents Do Make A Difference.

Women will get a chance to let their hair down, kick off their heels and celebrate who they are in body, mind and spirit. Get a sitter for the kids, bring your mother, sisters and friends and enjoy a program packed with laughter, friendship and inspiration.

Join the fun with a healthy meal provided by Two Frogs Grill, a mini forum work-out and door prizes.
