Tanner Hosting Women’s Reproductive Health and Pregnancy Discussion on Oct. 19
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
A healthy pregnancy is essential to a healthy delivery, and a specialist at Tanner hopes to provide insight on the many factors that can impact a women’s reproductive health both before conception and during pregnancy.
Megan Grilliot, MD, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with West Georgia OB/GYN and part of the patient care team with Tanner Women’s Care, will lead a special, free Advancing Your Health Education Series discussion, “Planning and Living a Healthy Pregnancy,” at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19, in Classroom 2 at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton.
Dr. Grilliot’s discussion will include topics on women’s reproductive health, pre-conception health and wellness, as well as diet and nutrition, food safety and medications for expecting mothers before and during their pregnancy.
Women will benefit from the insight and perspective of a certified women’s health specialist, who can answer questions and cut through myths and misconceptions concerning a healthy pregnancy. The reproductive system is one of the most complex, integral systems in a woman’s body, and maintaining good reproductive health is important for every woman regardless if she’s expecting to conceive or not.
Regardless if a woman is considering pregnancy or expecting her first — or her fourth — child, Dr. Grilliot will cover the steps she can take to help ensure a woman’s reproductive system is healthy before and during pregnancy and after the baby is born.
Women interested in attending can register themselves and a guest online at www.tanner.org/pregnancy or by calling 770.214.CARE (2273). Registration is required and seating is limited.
The discussion is part of Tanner’s Advancing Your Health Education Series, providing residents with access to free health information from the region’s leading health experts and covering a wide range of topics, including heart disease, orthopedics, digestive health and more.
