In observance of May as Women’s Health Care Month, tournament attendees will be reminded that “all women should prioritize their health and wellbeing,” and preventive health screenings will be available near the main entrance.

These important messages will be amplified across all RWJBarnabas Health digital and social channels, as well as across LPGA social media channels.

“In addition to watching world class athletes perform on the golf course, this partnership provides RWJBarnabas Health with an opportunity to educate and empower women to take care of themselves,” said Suzanne Spernal, senior vice president women’s services, RWJBarnabas Health. “Research confirms what we’ve long known —healthier women and children are crucial to a vital community. Reinforcing this message in partnership with the LPGA, especially during Women’s Health Care Month, will be impactful.”
