Your Skin, Your Health: What It Reveals + Summer Dish & Art You’ll Love!

July 2025

This online Series is sponsored by Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Sticht Center for Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention and is presented from 5:30-6:30 pm on the second Tuesday of each month via Zoom.

Do you know what the largest organ of the body is? It’s the skin! July 8th is World Skin Health Day, an annual awareness day dedicated to promoting skin health. As there is "no health without skin health", we will be talking about how the skin can hold clues to what is happening inside our bodies and how to optimize our skin health. Attendees of July’s AgingWell will hear again from Christine Ahn, MD, FAAD, Assistant Professor, Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, who will be sharing how to best care for our skin!

With Summer in full swing, it’s a great time to discover a new mediterranean style dish that is delicious, healthy, easy enough for a weeknight while fancy enough to serve for special occasions. The attendees of July’s AgingWell will hear from Terrie Gura, a renowned food bogger and home chef, on how to prepare one of her signature dishes- Mahi Florentine. Terrie’s philosophy on cooking is to design innovative recipes that are tasty, simple to make and that utilize locally sourced ingredients as well as those easily found in community grocery stores.

Join Emily Baker, manager of community and academic learning at Reynolda House Museum of American Art, to learn about an upcoming program that features work from the Hudson River School on July 23rd at 10:00 a.m. at the Mary Alice Warren Community Center in Lewisville. The Hudson River School was a 19th-century art movement that emphasized the beauty of nature and landscapes and features prominently in Reynolda's permanent collection. This brief art historical lesson and evaluation of the work will be followed by an art activity inspired by the Hudson River School artists that fosters creative thinking and exploration. No art experience is required!
