The 12th Annual Women Empowering Women Luncheon, benefiting Interfaith Community Clinic, presented by Waste Connections and The Huntsman Family Foundation was held on Thursday, April 9th at The Peach Orchard. Chaired by Dr. Adrienne Blessing, the event raised nearly $170,000 to support the Clinic’s life-changing work serving uninsured and underinsured residents of Montgomery County. The luncheon also marked the kickoff of the Clinic’s 30th anniversary, to be celebrated this Fall.
The highlight of the event was the Women’s Health & Wellness Panel, moderated by Dr. Blessing. Panelists included Dr. Anita Gill, MD, FAAD (The Gill Center for Plastic Surgery and Dermatology), Dr. Loren Rourke, MD, MHCM, FACS (Woodlands Breast Care), Dr. Cassandra K. Schakett, MD (Houston Methodist Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates), and Lauren Lococo, Nutritionist and Personal Trainer. The discussion covered a range of important topics including GLP-1s and peptides, perimenopause and menopause, hormone replacement therapy, cancer screenings, debunking common health myths, and stress and anxiety management.
