WORTHINGTON — After a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19, The Globe’s Women’s Expo returns this Saturday to the campus of Minnesota West Community & Technical College in Worthington. The event is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and includes more than 30 vendors, health-focused seminars and a wine tasting.
“We'd like to give a special thank you to our title sponsors who have been with us since day one,” said Globe Publisher Joni Harms. “We could not host this event without them — Avera Medical Group Worthington, Sanford Worthington and Minnesota West Community & Technical College.”
An event for women to be pampered, shop with regional businesses and vendors and attend seminars, the Expo is celebrating its 13th year.
Saturday’s seminars, sponsored by Sanford Worthington, include Alexa L’Abbe speaking on physical therapy for pelvic health at 9:30 a.m., and Dr. Jared Harwood explaining osteoarthritis and osteopenia in women at 10:30 a.m.
L’Abbe has her doctorate in physical therapy and provides physical therapy services to the local community. She is trained through Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute to provide PT for pelvic health diagnoses such as urinary incontinence, prolapse and pelvic pain.

Harwood, an orthopedic surgeon, specializes in total joint arthroplasty and musculoskeletal oncology. He provides total joint replacement surgery to help patients restore function and get back to daily living activities with less pain. He also diagnoses and provides treatment for patients with benign and cancerous tumors affecting bone and connective soft tissue.
Beginning at 1:30 p.m., attendees can take part in the 13th annual wine-tasting event, sponsored by Avera Medical Group Worthington. Leading the tasting will be staff from the Worthington Liquor Store, who will share some of the best wines to complement a weeknight dinner or family gathering.
Throughout the day, people are invited to visit and shop at participating vendors, ranging from A to Z — Alpha’s Alternatives, which offers a variety of CBD products, to Zenith Hormone & Weight Loss Replacement.
Several participating vendors will offer information on women’s health, from Avera and Sanford to Functional Health and Wellness, Humana, Mind & Body Strong Nutrition, Prairie Rehab, Profile and the Wound & Hyperbaric Healing Center.
