The Mansfield Laurel Health Center will host a dedicated Women’s Health Day on October 27, 2026, from 9 am to 5 pm at 416 S Main St. in Mansfield, PA. Appointments are recommended to reserve a specific timeslot and can be scheduled at 570-662-2002. Walk-ins are also welcome but will need to wait in the LHC waiting room for an opening in the schedule.

“Preventive screenings and wellness exams play important roles in keeping us healthy, but it can be tempting to put off preventive care when schedules are busy. Women often manage healthcare appointments for their entire household yet frequently put their own wellness care last on their to-do list,” shares Samantha Ordiway, Laurel Health’s Chief Operating Officer. “As we mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Laurel Health wants to encourage women to prioritize their well-being by making it easier to stay on top of wellness care, including a walk-in wellness option on October 27^th at our Mansfield health center.”

Our Women’s Health Day event will be spearheaded by Marcelinda Griffiths, certified registered nurse practitioner (CRNP). 

Marcelinda is passionate about women’s healthcare and has over 30 years of healthcare expertise caring for patients of all ages. She has a background in family medicine, critical care, and women's health services. 

“Nursing has always been my love and passion,” she shares.

“It is rewarding to care for each patient and provide resources to help optimize their quality of life wherever they are in their journey toward better health.”

During this event, she will provide wellness screenings, patient education, physical exams, and treatment for a wide range of women’s health issues, including:

• Breast exams (physical palpitation of breast tissue to check for lumps or changes), including educating patients on how to correctly perform a breast self-exam and what to look for when checking breast tissue
  
  
• Referrals for mammograms as needed for age-based screenings or follow-up
  
  
• Menstrual problems (e.g., heavy bleeding or painful periods)
  
  
• Perimenopause and menopause, including symptom management and treatment options like hormone replacement therapy
  
  
• Education on preventive screenings (when to begin and how often to get them)
  
  
• Cervical cancer screenings (pap tests)
  
  
• Birth control, including the different types of contraception available
  
  
• Incontinence (involuntary loss of bladder control / urine leakage)
  
  
• Testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections & venereal diseases, including genital warts and PREP (HIV prevention)
  
  
• Pregnancy tests
  
  
• Women’s wellness exams (physicals)
