Benefits of Exercising While Pregnant

Conversations for all the women in your life. Women's health encompasses far more than the issues discussed in a doctor's office—it is deeply intertwined with the unique experiences, challenges, and joys that shape a woman's life. Every medical concern is influenced by the complexities of a woman's life, for better and for worse. Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, WHNP, look at women's health through the seven essential domains of well-being: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, environmental, and spiritual health. Together, they offer insightful, compassionate conversations designed to empower women in every aspect of their lives. These discussions are not just for women, but for anyone who cares about the women in their lives. Join us as we embark on this journey together and foster an understanding of women's health in all its dimensions.
