Ovarian Cancer Awareness Lecture – Sept. 7

Until we have better early detection tools, all women should be educated about the disease so they can achieve early diagnosis and successful treatment. To learn more about ovarian cancer, join Dr. Almeida Sept. 7 from 6-7pm for an educational community lecture in observance of Ovarian Cancer Month. The event is free and refreshments will be served. The lecture will be held at Coral Spring Medical Center’s Medical Office Complex, 3100 Coral Hills Drive, Coral Springs. For reservations, call 954.759.7400.
