Register Online for a Women's Association Event

Join us, on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. for a free, in-person presentation by Katherine Sharkey, MD, PhD, FACP, FAASM, FAMWA, a sleep medicine physician and associate professor of medicine and psychiatry and human behavior at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

This talk will explore the challenges that keep us up at night, from social media to stress, medical conditions, over-the-counter prescription sleep aids, and conditions like chronic pain and bladder issues. Also covered will be the difference between everyday stress and true sleep disorders, how poor sleep impacts memory, mood, and heart health, and what “good” sleep hygiene looks like.

A light dinner will be provided at 6 p.m. for The Miriam Hospital Women's Association members and their guests. Program begins at 7 p.m.

For more information, please contact Vickie Scott at 401-793-2520 or [email protected].

The event will be held in the Sopkins Auditorium at The Miriam Hospital. Valet parking will be available.
