Women across the country are addressing key health concerns during breast cancer awareness month. And Benefis Health System in Great Falls is one of 80 hospitals nationwide hosting a "Girls Night Out."

The Spirit of Women group is offering various screenings, tours of the new Breast Center and presentations about common health concerns such as osteoporosis and heart disease. Organizers say they want to promote good health while showing area women a good time.

Spirit of Women Coordinator Lacey Gallagher said, "Women make 85% of the health care decisions in their family, and they're always making decisions for other people. This is an event that focuses on that woman's health."

Participants can schedule mammograms during the event, take a look at the new south tower and catch a robotic surgery demonstration. The men of radiology and Benefis Health System will be serving refreshments.

Girls night out is Thursday evening (10/8) from 5 to 7:30. Registration is required. Call 455-4806 to sign up.
