“Women’s health is such an important topic for our community that we wanted to invest in it, particularly by providing some educational opportunities and access to resources,” stated Jennie Garrett-Bureau, Executive Director/Administrator of U.P. Home Health & Hospice. “We want to be able to help women identify the various services available to them in Marquette County and, while we’re at it, provide a nice day to focus on themselves. We are so thankful for the Upper Peninsula Health Plan in partnering with us to bring this event to our friends and neighbors.”
