Women's Council Newsletter February 2018

Welcome all new and returning members! I hope you all had a wonderful time over the holidays with your family and are rested and ready to begin our work for 2018. The Women's Council Steering Committee met last month for our annual planning session and there are a lot of great plans in the work for this year! If you are a returning member, welcome back! If you are new to us this year, I encourage you to get plugged in with a committee. I would like to extend an invitation to all members to come to our first social of the year on Tuesday February 13th from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at the Conway Regional Foundation Office at 631 Western Avenue. This is a casual meet and greet type event for all new, returning, and prospective members. Again, we are so excited to have you with us this year - let's make this our best year yet!

February is American Heart Month! Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. The disease is more prevalent in women because the symptoms manifest differently - click the link below to hear Dr. Deepali Tukaye, Conway Regional Cardiologist, discuss heart disease in women and how you can detect the early signs and stay heart healthy!
