The Learning Center also annually hosts “What Women Should Know”, a symposium on women’s health issues; “Her Health”, a free symposium for mothers and their daughters ages 11 to 14 that explains health issues pertaining to young adolescent girls; and the Safety Circus, Lady of the Sea General Hospital’s SAFE KIDS event held each year in May.

The Safety Circus includes presentations from different area businesses and programs and includes snacks, giveaways, and great informational tools for children. For more information, see the Safety Circus page on this website.

The main goal of The Learning Center is to provide high quality education programs and health screenings for the people of our community.
