DALLAS – Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas will host its annual Sole Sister event on Saturday, October 5, from 8 a.m. to Noon at the Tower Club Dallas.

The event will feature spa treatments, group workout classes, health & beauty consultations, and special guest host Miss Texas, Ivana Hall. An interactive question-and-answer panel will be the highlight of the event, as Baylor medical professionals will provide their expertise and take questions from the audience.

Miss Texas Ivana Hall is a government and political science major at Texas Women’s University. When she first started her college career, both of her parents were laid off from their jobs and she had to provide funding for her education. Through working part time, financial aid and scholarships through the Miss America Organization, she has been able to pursue her educational goals.

Guests are invited to grab a friend for the educational health & beauty boot camp. Come check out the latest trends in health, fitness and beauty while learning about these cancers that affect women. Group yoga and Zumba workouts will be a highlight at this event.

The panelists at the annual Sole Sisters event will include:

 Claudia Harsh, MD, integrative gynecologist and physician acupuncturist on staff with the Integrative Medicine Program at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center

 Carolyn Garby, MS, CGC, clinical genetic counselor at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center

“We’re hoping to equip women in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with resources to take a proactive stance on their health,” said Jennifer Williams, community outreach coordinator at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas. “Our mission is to create a sisterhood of strength and accountability in the fight against breast and ovarian cancer through health education and fitness.”

Registration is $10 and proceeds will benefit the Healing Arts Program at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas. Space is limited. To RSVP, call 1-800-4BAYLOR.

Sole Sisters is being supported this year by Duke Realty, Natural Awakenings Magazine, KIND Healthy Snacks, Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center, Baylor Darlene Cass Breast Imaging Center, and the American Cancer Society.
