WomanKind offers free seminar MUSC Family Medicine Center's holistic health resource for women, WomanKind, presents a free seminar from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, in the Harper Student Wellness Center Auditorium. The seminar will explore mid-life health issues and expanding options in pursuit of wellness.  Guest speakers will be Shirley Worth Brodie, R.N., whose practice, Holistic Breast and Lymphatic Care, is located at To Your Health, a collaborative of integrative healers/practitioners in Charleston; and Patricia Thompson, M.D., of Beaufort, an obstetrician/gynecologist specializing in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.  Women who are perimenopausal or menopausal have many things to consider—hot flashes, breast cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis and sexuality, natural vs. synthetic hormones.  At WomanKind, individually designed treatment plans are targeted to each woman's needs and concerns, and include pharmacologic, herbal, nutritional and lifestyle management, as well as counseling and referral for complementary modalities of treatment.  The seminar and parking are free.
