''Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.'' Buddha

Please join us for the last private session focusing on women's health. Share a glass of wine with your girlfriends while discussing health issues and concerns with noted experts. Each session has focused on your body, mind and spirit and how each affects your wellness. Bring a friend you don't get to see enough of, join as a group, or make a new friend at the event. This intimate 6 month series allows you to discuss health and wellness with other women and experts in a safe and comfortable environment.

The new location for the OHSU Center for Women's Health opened on June 26 and The Link is honored to partner with Dr. Joanna Cain and her team at OHSU along with other experts in their field from around Portland to help you become a true advocate for your health. Make informed health choices, ask questions you've always wanted to ask, and join a great group of women for our once a month sessions. OHSU and The Link encourage you to be healthy and prosper!

About OHSU Center for Women's Health
OHSU Center for Women's Health, a National Center for Excellence and the only one on the west coast, was built on the vision and savvy of exceptional women in the community. These women urged OHSU to create a new model to improve women's health - a ''one-stop shop'' where holistic care, research, education, and public policy could come together. In 1997 the Center was launched, and in less than a decade it has become a national model.

This new facility, located in the Peter O. Kohler Pavilion, contains state of the art technology blended with a setting designed by women for women.  Included in the 30,000 square foot Center is a Meditation Terrace Garden with sculptures and fountains overlooking the Willamette Valley.
