March is National Women’s History Month

This declaration came from a concern that the standard U.S.  public school  k-12 curriculum in the 1970s did not include women’s role in the events that shaped the growth of the United States. A California educational task force began to raise public awareness of this deficiency by establishing the first Women’s  History week in 1970. Soon other states and finally the Congress followed suit and March became a time for public events focused on educating the public about women’s contributions to all aspects of societies in America and also around the world. Such awareness also became an effective means to achieve overall equity for women  and provided networking opportunities for women to learn from and support each other.

To honor this month, please come to  THE TOTAL WOMAN event  where you can network with our very own physicians regarding important health care issues .

From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.
