Dr. Mehmet Oz, a regular on The Oprah Winfrey Show and one of the world's most influential people, according to Time magazine, will be the featured speaker at Highline Medical Center's Women's Wellness Event called "Live Healthy. Stay Young".

The event takes place Oct. 4 from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center in SeaTac.

"We wanted to create an event that would give the women of our community an opportunity to learn strategies for staying healthy," said Mara Burke, Highline director of community relations. "Our goal is for every woman who attends this event to come away with valuable information that is meaningful in her life. We couldn't think of a better way to do that than to bring Dr. Oz to Seattle and pair him with a dozen other medical experts".

The event will include health workshops, the keynote by Dr. Oz, continental breakfast and lunch, and a copy of Dr. Oz's latest book YOU: Staying Young for each participant. There is a $90 registration fee.

A brochure describing the workshops is available for downloading at www.LiveHealthyStayYoung.com. Seats for the event are limited. Advance purchase is required. Call 206-695-5544 to register.

Burke said that this event is part of the 50th anniversary activities in motion to honor Highline's half-century of growth and commitment to healthy living and compassionate care. Highline opened its doors as Burien Community Hospital 50 years ago and has since grown into a comprehensive medical center.

The presenting sponsor for the event is KeyBank. Other sponsors include Puget Sound Health Partners, BECU, Burien Toyota/Burien Chevrolet, Albertsons/Supervalu, Powell Brothers and Alaska Airlines.

The medical center includes two healthcare campuses and more than 20 clinics across Southwest King County. For more information, log on to www.highlinemedicalcenter.org
