Health Conscious Women Gather for Inaugural Women’s Health & Wellness Conference

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – March 23, 2018 – Jupiter Medical Center Foundation proudly hosted its inaugural Women’s Health & Wellness Conference at PGA National Resort and Spa. Wellness expert and life coach Jillian Michaels was the keynote speaker, engaging with guests during an extensive Q&A session. Prior to speaking in front of the crowd of more than 150 women, Jillian spent several hours meeting one-on-one with local cancer patients to encourage them as they continue on their individual journeys.

The event kicked off on the evening of February 28 with a cocktail reception at The Spa at PGA National. Guests enjoyed mini spa services, a taste of exclusive wines produced and provided by the Hill Family Estate, and received a copy of Jillian’s book, Unlimited: A Three-Step Plan for Achieving Your Dreams.
