About
Each year we offer two events focused on education and connection around women’s health and wellness. Dr. Lori Tam, medical director, women’s heart wellness, Providence Heart Institute, hosts colleagues and industry experts on topics relatable to women of all adult ages. The information shared is meant to help guide, support, and encourage women to seek the education and resources — as well as take the next steps — to living their best, healthiest lives.
Topics generally focus on healthy behaviors and how they support women through the many experiences across the lifespan, how those experiences may increase risk factors, preventative steps to help lower risks, as well as opportunities for social engagement through conversation and activities with our experts and attendees.
When registration is open for one of our two annual events, more information and the registration form will be shown below.
