DeKALB – Janis Blanco took her mother, Irene Hayes, to the “This One’s For the Girls” women’s health event at Kishwaukee Community Hospital for Hayes’ 92nd birthday on Friday.

“We saw it in the paper so I took off work and this is what we are doing,” Blanco said. “Then we are going to lunch afterward.”

After dressing in hats and sunglasses to have their photo taken at a photo booth, the Sycamore women visited many of the 18 tables set up around the lower level of the hospital, where medical professionals had displays about issues that pertained to women’s health. The third annual health fair for women, which ran on Friday and Saturday mornings, attracted about 1,200 women.
