Introduction
Health Matters for Rural Women is a source for news and information sharing about the health of rural women in Arizona. Health is more than the absence of disease and women’s health is more than reproductive health. Many factors contribute to individual health and well-being. Through this newsletter, AzRWHI presents relevant and useful topics, creates conversations, and provides a space for rural communities, health professionals, and women living in rural communties to explore health.
Do you have an idea for a future topic to be covered in the newsletter? Can you interview someone who is making a difference in the lives of women living in rural areas? How about sending information on an upcoming event or new resource? We are always seeking contributions. To inquire or submit information, please email Jennifer Peters.
