Cheval Wellness plans free PMOS screening and fertility event in Trinity

Cheval Wellness will host a free women’s wellness event Sept. 26 at Starkey Market in Trinity, Florida, offering PMOS risk screenings and expert talks as PCOS Awareness Month spotlights the condition’s renamed diagnosis. The event aims to push earlier screening and education around symptoms linked to fertility, metabolism and mental health.

Why it matters: - The event introduces the public to PCOS’s new name, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS, after an international consensus process. - PMOS reflects a broader view of the condition, which affects metabolism, insulin regulation, skin, mental health and fertility. - The condition affects roughly 1 in 8 women of reproductive age worldwide. - Early screening could help women identify symptoms before fertility becomes a crisis.

What happened: - Cheval Wellness will host Fertile Ground: A PMOS & Women's Wellness Day on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. - The free event will take place at Starkey Market in Trinity, Florida. - The event is tied to PCOS Awareness Month. - Registration is recommended through Eventbrite registration.

The details: - Dr. Angela Mineo, owner of Cheval Wellness, will provide complimentary PMOS risk screenings throughout the event. - Organizers are encouraging women with irregular or missed periods, ovulation trouble, acne, excess facial or body hair, thinning scalp hair, weight or blood sugar changes, or difficulty conceiving to attend. - Eight local health professionals will participate. - The lineup includes a registered dietitian, pelvic floor therapist, perinatal chiropractor, fertility acupuncturist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, midwife and fitness instructor. - Each expert will give short talks and answer questions at dedicated tables. - Event perks include goodie bags for the first 50 attendees, light refreshments and a raffle package worth more than $1,500 from participating businesses.

Between the lines: - Mineo is framing PMOS as a broader women’s health issue, not just a fertility diagnosis. - The event is designed to move education upstream, before people reach the point of struggling to conceive. - The mix of speakers suggests a focus on hormone health, mental health, movement and nutrition, not just reproductive care.

What's next: - Cheval Wellness expects attendees to leave with screening results, symptom awareness and referrals to relevant professionals. - The clinic is using the event to expand awareness of PMOS ahead of broader public adoption of the renamed condition. - Women interested in attending can register online before the event date.
