SAGINAW, MI — MyMichigan Medical Center Saginaw will host a three-session educational series this October aimed at enhancing community wellness and knowledge through expert-led discussions on digital security, stroke awareness and healthy aging.
The Wellness Wednesday Lunch and Learn Series begins Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Health Education Center Lobby and Lecture Hall on the medical center campus at 800 S. Washington in Saginaw, organizers said. Sessions run from 11:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., with doors opening at 11 a.m.
