How can women better prioritize their health everyday?

It's not easy to put ourselves first, especially with so much going on around us, but starting the day with intention is key- preparing a healthy lunch and snacks to take with us to work, prefilling a water bottle so that it's ready to go, or scheduling time in our day for a walk after lunch. These are all things we can pre-plan to ensure we're prioritizing our health each day.

Please complete the statement: "(To me) women's health is..."

All-encompassing. We care for women not only physically, but also emotionally- we are here to support our patients in a holistic way and want them to feel well-cared for in all different facets of their lives.

What does a “healthy woman” look like to you?

There are so many variations to what a "healthy woman" looks like. I think of someone who has inner peace, is happy in her current state, and feels fulfilled by whatever she chooses to do each day- whether personally or professionally. This is someone who takes care of herself and prioritizes her needs to ensure she is showing up as her best self each day.
