WIN offers women s seminars
Sacred Heart
to host events
By Caml Swanson
Emerald Reporter
Worried about your personal
safety on campus? Or maybe
classes arc making you lose
sleep? Do diets never seem to
work for you? These are just a
few of the questions being ad
dressed at Sacred Heart General
Hospital's third annual Wom
en's Information Network
(WIN).
WIN touches on topics of par
ticular concern to women
through a scries of seminars be
ing offered throughout the year.
The free seminars are held at the
Hilton Hotel once a month on
Tuesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30
p.m. Although the program is
specifically aimed at women,
WIN Director Demi Rewick said
that men are always welcome to
attend.
Rewick, a registered nurse at
Sacred Heart, said the seminars
were started two years ago be
cause the hospital realized ap
proximately 80 percent of health
care decisions in a family are
made by women. The hospital
also wanted to change its image.
"We wanted to be wellness
oriented rather than sickness-ori
ented," Rewick said.
The first-ever seminar was a
huge success, Rewick said. In
stead of the 150 people the hos
pital expected to attend, 450 peo
ple showed up. The program's
organizers had to persuade a
conference in the next room to
move to provide enough seating
space.
"We’ve given up trying to
predict," said Rowick, who said
that between 150 and 900 people
may show up for a WIN semi
nar, depending upon the topic.
The room reserved for the semi
nars at the Hilton can hold up to
1,000 people.
While some of the seminars
deal with broad topics, such as
fitness and the female body, oth
ers, which are labeled "focus
seminars," deal with much more
narrowly defined topics, such as
infertility or breastfeeding.
Rewick said the focus seminars
were developed to give in-depth
information about specific top
ics. This is the first year focus
seminars have been offered.
Speakers at the seminars arc
all professionals in their field.
Rewick said. There may only a
single speaker at a seminar or
there may be a panel, depending
upon the topic. Some speakers
are flown in from Washington or
California, Rcwick said.
WIN began its 1988-89 series
of seminars on Sept. 20, with a
"Anger: A Creative Force for
Positive Change. Speaker Linda
Bryson, a counselor, consultant
and professional speaker, dis
cussed new ways of understand
ing anger and how to use it as a
creative force for positive
change.
Following are a list of the sem
inars being offered by WIN and
a brief explanation of what they
will cover:
* Oct. 11: 'The Art and Science
of Breastfeeding." The focus
seminar will address how to be
an "80's type of women" and
work while breastfeeding,
Kewick said.
* Nov. 22: "Personal Safety for
Women: Taking Control." This
seminar will deal with how to
present yourself in a way that
makes you less vulnerable.
* Dec. 13: "Infertility: New
Technology, New Hope." New
ways to help with infertility
problems will be looked at in
this focus seminar.
•Jan. 10: Beyond Diet: Healthy
Ways of Looking at Food." Why
diets don't work and the healthy
way to lose weight are the topics
of this seminar.
* Feb. 14: "Sleep Disorders:
Dreaming of a Good Night's
Sleep." Part of this focus semi
nar with deal with how to help
children's sleep disorders.
* Mar. 21: "Aging Well: Good
News for Women over 40."
Rcwick said this seminar will
address how the physical
changes of menopause do not
have to be traumatic in a society
that seems to be youth-oriented.
