President's Message

Happy New Year! I am deeply honored to serve as the President of EWHC for the next two years. My vision for this year is to shed light on the challenges we, as women, face in our careers, families, and communities.

Through our event speakers, we aim to enhance your awareness and education, empowering us to elevate ourselves and our surroundings. My passion for healthcare, combined with my background in interior design, has given me a unique perspective on the industry. I am eager to unite us as a community, celebrating each other and expanding our knowledge together.

Our first event this past week on January 22^nd, we were happy to see 45 members and guests attended at Ruth Chris.

Huge thank you for our guest speaker, Jennifer Chapman at our event this past Wednesday. Her presentation on ‘Embrace Your Inner Warrior’ was very inspiration, thought provoking and for me was a good reminder of where to put your mindset.

I am thrilled to share some of the great events we have lined up and the opportunities to engage with our vibrant community.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Let's make 2025 a year to remember!

Best Regards,
