Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation brought in three speakers to discuss health topics during its Women & Medicine Educational Luncheon at Michael's On East on March 24. 

Hundreds attended the 10th annual event that started with cocktails, light bites and silent auction bidding in the Michael's courtyard. 

Eventually it was time for guests to take their seats and hear from event co-chairs Gwen Mackenzie and Sandi Stuart along with SMHF president Stacey Corley. 

The programs speaking segment featured Dr. Robinder Bhangoo with First Physicians Group, Sarasota Memorial Hospital Behavioral Health Services Executive Director Terry Cassidy and Psychiatric APRN Dana Gau in a panel moderated by ABC7 Suncoast View's Stephanie Roberts. 

This year's event benefits patient care services at the Cornell Family Behavioral Health Pavilion.
