We wore red at our February meeting for Women’s Heart Health Month and we welcomed Cardiologist, Dr. Christine Gerula, who spoke to us about the Go Red For Women Campaign, how to have better heart health, and the signs and symptoms of heart attacks in women.
On October 21st, members were guests of The Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center at a luncheon at The Ridgewood Country Club. The featured speaker was Dr. Yeraz Markarian, PhD. Her presentation on the topic, Mental Wellness: Clarity in Uncertain Times, was excellent and most timely. Many thanks to Kristen who organized our participation.
April has been our “focus on wellness” month! Members have been participating in walking groups to improve fitness. This week, members also enjoyed a relaxing and rejuvenating evening––totally surrounded by Himalayan salt at Salt of The Earth Salt Cave in Chestnut Ridge, New York.
