THE CHRISTUS
LiveWell
TM
Women’s Conference –
going on its fifth year in 2012 – is an ambitious project,
but one that CHRISTUS is committed to.
“Each year, we try to put together an array of top-
ics that resonate with women of all ages,” says Becky
Howard, conference coordinator. “As women, we often
put ourselves last. But we can say: ‘I can give one day.
I’m worth it.’”
The focus of the CHRISTUS LiveWell
TM
Women’s
Conference is to educate, encourage and empower
women by providing them with the tools to improve their physical, spiritual
and mental health. The conference is held annually in May in conjunction
with National Women’s Health Week. National Women’s Health Week
encourages women to make their health a top priority and take simple
steps for a longer, healthier and happier life.
Last year, more than 1,500 women attended the CHRISTUS-
sponsored conference. They were able to choose from more than 20
sessions on topics such as social media, sleep health and spirituality.
They enjoyed shopping, free health screenings and cooking demonstra-
tions – tasty samples included. The day also included a talk from Hilary
Swank, who shared her inspiring story.
“We believe that living well doesn’t just mean being physically
healthy,” Jane Rawls, RN, interim chief nursing executive, said. “It’s
really about finding the mind, body and spirit balance.”
To help women do just that 365 days of the year, CHRISTUS offers
the CHRISTUS LiveWell
TM
Women’s Network, which sponsors this an-
nual conference. Joining the network is also a great way to stay in the
loop about your health and wellness.
What do women want? To live well! In that spirit, CHRISTUS
Hospital offers the CHRISTUS LiveWell
TM
Women’s Network. It’s free
to join, and as a card-carrying member, you’ll get a variety of
benefits, including advance notice of registration for the

but for myself.”

His Service”)

The joy at the great
outdoors was crazy to
