“Think Beyond Pink is a day aimed at bringing women in our community together to focus on their health and wellness,” said Judith Ramirez, EdD, manager of Oncology Population Health with Beebe Healthcare. “Women in particular often face the difficulty of making time for self-care due to pressures and demands of work, family, and community. At this event, you will be empowered to make lasting changes for a happier and healthier life, and connect in conversation with Beebe physicians and other health resource partners.”
