Women Care for Women’s Wellbeing The first program part of an educational series on women’s health

Women have a tendency to put their health on the back burner while taking of their families, and working outside their home. On August 19, 2007 MWC invited women to attend the first workshop of the series, “Women Care for Women’s Wellbeing.” This workshop on women’s general health was called “Preventive Medicine for Women,” and was delivered by Dr M Tahira (Internal Medicine).

About twenty members of MWC and the community came to learn about how women should take care of their bone and breast health – two major concerns for all women. The workshop was held in an open atmosphere where women were invited to ask questions on any health subject.

Many attendees commented that this workshop was very educational and beneficial. Pointers such as taking calcium and other vitamin supplements, scheduling mamograms and how to take care of your joints are welcome reminders of how women should take care of ourselves.   Our next workshop on depression will be announced via email.
