Spirit of Women

Women share unique health concerns throughout their lives. As a regional leader in women's health, BroMenn Healthcare is proud of our partnership with Spirit of Women , a nationwide movement among top healthcare providers to motivate and inspire women of all ages to make positive changes in their lives.

BroMenn Healthcare supports the ongoing celebration of women’s health through Spirit of Women because we believe that knowledge and community support are the keys to wellness. Our mission is to motivate women to take action toward total well-being—mind, body, and spirit.

Through BroMenn Healthcare, women can participate in a variety of Spirit of Women programs and events for themselves and their families. For more information, call (877) 270-4YOU.

HeartCaring

BroMenn offers HeartCaring, a national certification program that helps hospitals improve heart health through physician education and community outreach focused on gender-specific cardiac care.

The National Heart, Lung, and BIood Institute (NHLBI) and the Spirit of Women network created HeartCaring in response to a growing body of research that demonstrates an under-diagnosis of heart disease in women, as well as a lack of understanding about gender differences in symptoms of heart disease and peripheral artery disease (PAD). The program is designed to address these gaps.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death of women in this country, but it's only recently that we've begun to understand what we can do to better prevent and treat heart disease in women. HeartCaring brings primary care physicians, obstetricians/gynecologists and patients together to improve women's cardiac care in our community and encourage women to take action to protect themselves from heart disease.

The HeartCaring program includes physician education about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and PAD in women, as well as in-office tools that help women patients make positive, healthy choices to prevent heart disease. Physicians who participate with BroMenn in the HeartCaring program are certified for one year with additional gender-specific training required for renewal each year.

BroMenn is committed to be a regional and community leader in gender-specific cardiac care and education.  Over time, the education and tools provided through this program will be so effective in teaching women gender-specific, heart healthy habits that fewer and fewer of them will ever have to be treated for heart disease.
