Celebrating Personal and Professional Wellbeing Through Wellness Hubs at 2024 International Women’s Day Event

March 22, 2024

Personal and professional wellbeing was celebrated throughout the 2024 International Women’s Day event, an annual celebration from the Detroit Regional Chamber and Wellness Works in partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. This Chamber signature event’s revamped format featured unique wellness experiences called Wellness Hubs, where attendees could explore wellbeing in a variety of fun ways.

When an attendee engaged with a Wellness Hub, they received a sticker to add to their Wellness Hub Passport slip that they received when they checked into the event. Those who visited all of the Hubs turned in their completed Passports back to Registration and received a chance to get a $250 gift certificate to Skinphorea Spa. Two winners were announced via email after the event.
