Wellness and the Working Woman

As a mother of two college age children, co-owner of an established Hillsboro Healthcare Facility and member of the Hillsboro City Council, I know exactly what working women go through on a daily basis to take care of themselves and their families.

I also know what toll a heavy schedule can take on our overall health. In my 25 year career as a healthcare provider I've focused most of my efforts and training on women's health issues. At the Hillsboro Women's Clinic I work closely with a broad sprectrum of women of all age ranges and deal with all manner of issues. From the young teen going through her first period to the post-menopausal woman, I've experienced it all.

With the advent of the Internet I've also found that many women are better educated on issues than they were 20 years ago. There is also more confusion, however, as the Internet often provides information without proper lay-person narrative, leaving the patient, at times, with information that contradicts other information they've discovered.

My blog is an attempt to provide a resource that busy moms, corporate professionals, students and others can use to get trusted feedback on critical women's health issues. In the coming weeks, I will feedback to some of the most common questions I hear from women in our practice and look forward to responding to questions from our expanding electronic audience as well.

Good Health!
