Mid-Michigan Healthy Aging & Wellness Event Brings Women Together for Trusted Health and Wellness Conversations

Women have more access to health information than ever, but finding reliable answers to personal health questions can still be challenging. Concerns surrounding perimenopause, menopause, hormones, weight, metabolic health, pelvic and sexual health, aesthetics, and healthy aging can quickly lead to an overwhelming mix of information and misinformation.

The Mid-Michigan Healthy Aging & Wellness Event, hosted by Avita Health & Wellness in Okemos, Michigan, aims to provide a more approachable way to navigate those conversations. The complimentary event will take place Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., bringing together a select group of health, wellness, and lifestyle professionals in a relaxed setting.

Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, meet participating professionals and organizations, and discover resources that may support their individual goals.

For Dr. Amy VH Blasen, FACEP, founder and medical director of Avita Health & Wellness, creating space for open conversation is an important part of helping women feel informed about their health.

“Some of the most meaningful moments in my career are when a woman tells me, ‘For the first time, I feel like someone truly listened,’” said Dr. Blasen. “Women deserve to be heard and to understand what is happening in their bodies and what options are available to them.”

A Conversational Approach to Women’s Health

Unlike a traditional health seminar, the Mid-Michigan Healthy Aging & Wellness Event will not feature formal presentations or educational sessions. Instead, attendees can move through the evening at their own pace, speak directly with participating professionals, and explore topics relevant to their stage of life.

Questions about changing hormones, sleep, weight, energy, intimacy, nutrition, metabolism, pelvic health, aesthetics, and healthy aging often overlap. The event is designed to give women an opportunity to explore those topics without feeling pressured to find all the answers at once.

The evening will also include live music, refreshments, and giveaways, creating an informal environment for learning and connecting.

Women of all ages are welcome, and advance registration is required. Admission is complimentary.

Avita Health & Wellness and Women’s Care

Avita Health & Wellness is a physician-led practice with a focus on women’s health, menopause, and healthy aging. Dr. Blasen works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes, weight and metabolic concerns, pelvic and sexual health, aesthetics, and other changes associated with aging.

For women exploring hormone-related care, the practice provides individualized, physician-led bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Avita also offers a microdose GLP-1 program as part of its approach to weight and metabolic health.

The practice’s aesthetic services complement its broader focus on wellness, recognizing that confidence and how women feel about their appearance can be meaningful parts of overall quality of life.

Rather than focusing on a single treatment or approach, the event gives attendees an opportunity to learn about different areas of care and decide which conversations they may want to continue with a professional.

Making Health Conversations More Accessible

Online searches, social media, and advice from friends can provide useful starting points, but they can also make it difficult to distinguish general information from guidance that applies to an individual.

The Mid-Michigan Healthy Aging & Wellness Event offers women an opportunity to speak directly with professionals and organizations in person. The goal is to create a setting where attendees can ask questions, learn about available resources, and leave with information they can consider for their own health and wellness journey.

“We want this to become an event women look forward to, with access to exceptional professionals, services and options that can help them look, feel and live their best,” Dr. Blasen said.

The event is planned as an annual gathering, providing an ongoing opportunity for women throughout Okemos and Mid-Michigan to connect with professionals and learn about resources related to healthy aging and wellness.
