SUMMARY:September 2025 Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Women’s Health: Insights from the Inside\nHealth decisions aren’t like rom-coms—you want facts\, not drama\nEvent date: Wednesday\, September 17\, 2025\nIMPORTANT: Registration Deadline: Midnight\, September 6\, 2025\nAs entrepreneurs and leaders\, we know how vital it is to make informed decisions for ourselves\, our families\, and our businesses. Yet when it comes to women’s health\, the system can be confusing—and sometimes overwhelming. \nJoin Dr. Janelle Strom\, board-certified OB/GYN\, for an engaging conversation that pulls back the curtain on women’s healthcare—personal\, professional\, and systemic. \nThree Objectives of This Session: \n\nEmpower Decision-Making: Learn how to ask the right questions and evaluate options when facing choices like home birth\, surgery\, or preventative care.\nDemystify Healthcare Choices: Understand why some women choose non-mainstream medicine\, where it can be helpful—or risky—and how to balance tradition with innovation.\nGain Insider Perspective: Hear what it’s really like inside the world of OB/GYN—beyond what TV shows and headlines portray.\n\nThis conversation is especially relevant for the consummate female entrepreneur—someone used to weighing risk\, managing resources\, and making smart\, informed decisions. And yes\, there will be time for your questions. \nAbout our Speaker:\nJanelle Strom is a member of the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology\, and a Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetrics/Gynecology. She received her B.S. in Zoology from North Dakota State University\, and her medical degree from the University of North Dakota. She completed her residency training at Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska and completed her MBA from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis\, MN. Dr. Strom was also an enlisted member and a commissioned officer in the North Dakota\, and Nebraska Air National Guard. Although Dr. Strom enjoys all aspects of obstetrics/gynecology\, she has special interest in the minimally-invasive surgical procedures which allow women who require surgery to recover more quickly. She is an active member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists\, and has experience in advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures. \nDr. Strom joined us after living and practicing in Central Minnesota for over 20 years and is thrilled to be a part of our community. She has been practicing in Bend for over 10 years now as well. Married with two sons\, she enjoys golfing\, gardening and cooking in her spare time. \nEducation \nCreighton University – Omaha\, Nebraska \nCertifications \nAmerican Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology \n  \n\nConnectW loves to meet new businesses and new business owners.
