Box Butte General Hospital’s Rehab and Wellness Center is hosting a fundraising event for the hospital’s new wellness center.

Dr. Joanne Owens-Nauslar (Dr. Jo) will be the guest speaker, with her presentation entitled, “Secure Your Own Mask, First.”

Dr. Jo has been promoting the benefits of healthy, active living for over 43 years and is considered one of the nation’s most vocal personalities on the topic. She is the past president of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education and The Husker Athletic Fund.

The event will be held Monday, February 4, 2013 at the Alliance High School Performing Arts Center at 6:30 pm.

“We want to encourage people to bring their whole family,” said Tim Devlin, BBGH Physical Therapist and Co-Clinic Coordinator, “It is a great opportunity to learn about the power of humor for health and leading by example, because we must first take care of our own health before we try to help others.”

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased in advance at The Rehab and Wellness Center, located at 2101 Box Butte Avenue, or at the door the night of the event.

This event will also include results of a yearlong body and wellness transformation contest, from a group of male hospital professionals including: physicians, therapists, and executive members.
