Women Connect
Healthy Living. Impactful Giving.
Put Yourself on the List.
Women Connect is our way of educating and empowering women to do something they don't always do: prioritize their health. Draw strength and reassurance from other women. Ask uncomfortable questions. Overcome obstacles to better health.
