Thank You for Attending the 16th Annual Gathering!

This year's Gathering at Marshfield Clinic was centered on the theme, "Grandmas: A Key to Family Health." We had over 100 women attend and an array of fabulous speakers to discuss the important role grandparents have in keeping their families safe and healthy. Attendees learned strategies for keeping their loved ones protected online, the latest maternal and child health recommendations, and

how to practice self-care.


A big thanks to our sponsors for making the event possible:
