Community Calendar

Join us for a full-day conference for CNY women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Women are often confused by overwhelming options and a lack of clinical guidance, compounded by historical gaps in research and societal silence around women's health.

The HERHealth Conference was created to address these obstacles in a single day, bringing regional medical specialists under one roof.

Event Highlights:

Kick off the morning with opening remarks from 93Q’s Amy Robbins.

Access to one of CNY’s few Menopause Society Certified Practitioners.

Choose workshops focused on hormone therapy, menopause, pelvic floor health, nutrition, breast health, physical therapy, financial planning, bodyweight training, and mind-body practices like breathwork.

Wrap up the day with a direct Q&A session featuring our specialist panel.

Leave with the tools, clarity, and terminology needed to navigate body changes and advocate for your health with confidence.

Advance registration is required. Visit https://www.herhealthconference.org to secure your ticket and view the full schedule.

The November FOCUS Forum is the second in a three-part fall series on Economic Instability in Onondaga County. Participants do not need to be present at all three to enjoy the conversation. Join FOCUS for a hybrid public forum where local leaders will explore the lived realities of financial hardship in Onondaga County, the intersecting barriers people navigate, and the resilience, resourcefulness, and meaningful work already happening across our communities! This discussion is informed by direct experience, community research, and the real stories of people navigating economic instability in Central New York. Panelists will provide an honest look at what barriers people face, where systems fall short, and where bridges are being built, drawing on their professional roles and direct experience serving, studying, and advocating alongside residents of Onondaga County. The conversation will highlight the organizations and individuals doing this work every day, and the ways residents can better understand, support, and connect with local efforts. The Forum will emphasize learning from lived experience and local practice, including understanding what gets in the way and what helps people move forward, while allowing panelists to address emerging issues and priorities. After presentations from our panel, the conversation moves to a moderated Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and discover ways to engage with local priorities and initiatives. This is a welcoming, respectful space for community members to learn, engage, and explore ways to be actively involved in shaping the civic life of Central New York.
