Experts in women's health to headline St. John's event
Keynote speakers for the St. John's Totally Healthy Woman retreat include Kathryn Klein Havens, M.D., and Sue McKenzie, M.A. Havens and McKenzie are representatives from Smith Hager Bajo, national experts in women's and children's health care management consulting and facility planning. Smith Hager Bajo combines the expertise of professionals with more than 60 years of experience in health care management and facility planning for women and children's health care.
When Kayt Klein Havens, M.D., discovered she was in early menopause at age 40, she was startled to find that her own physician was not properly prepared to help guide her through this significant period of change. She was even more startled to find that there were few resources that a woman could turn to educate herself on the subject.
"Dr. Klein Havens' experience and professional background created in her a genuine passion to provide women with the straightforward information and emotional support needed to move confidently," says Claudette Hamm, R.N., director of Women's Health Services for Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee.
Havens is an associate professor of Family Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. She was the principal investigator for the Milwaukee Collaborative Teen Pregnancy Prevention Project, a mentoring program and directed a staff in collaboration with the New Concepts Social Service Agency.
She was co-principal investigator in the STD prevention in at-risk population funded by the National Institute of Mental Health/AIDS Behavioral Health project in 1994.
In the past three years, Havens has become involved in mid-life women's health issues, helping to create a women's health curriculum for St. Luke's Family Practice Residency Program. She is co-director of the Women's Health Educational Coalition of Milwaukee and developed a multi-media mid-life program for women.
Sue McKenzie's early career teaching health and communication to children, youth and adults in public schools and the community helped her build a strong foundation to later develop and deliver creative and effective educational programs and collaborative projects. After serving as a minister of education at a St. Louis Methodist church, a middle and high school teacher in Greenfield Wis., and a public speaker on communication and sexuality training for adults, family and youth, McKenzie became the educational director for the Health Educational Center of Wisconsin, a cutting-edge health educational facility serving 50,000 customers annually.
She is currently the president and partners of Impact Strategies, a project management, educational program development and training-consulting group.
Co-host Dee Dee Lennon is recognized as one-fourth of the performing group, the Lennon Sisters. Lennon recently retired from performing two shows a day, seven days a week at the Champagne Theater at the Welk resort in Branson.
Co-host Lisa Rose is the anchor of KY3's popular 5 O'Clock show, which airs weekdays. She co-anchors KY3's 10 p.m. weeknight newscast with Tony Beason.
