Women are at the heart of most health care decisions, especially those related to the care of their families and loved ones. Women's Services at Little Company of Mary takes that concept to heart.

On Tuesday, September 25th Little Company of Mary hosted the first annual Girlfriend�s Getaway� event at the Hilton Oak Lawn. This event featured discussions on important health issues and keynote speaker Vicki Iovine, author of many books on women�s health, including Girlfriend�s Guide to Staying Healthy and Loving Life, about the importance of discussing health issues with your close friends.

The evening�s breakout sessions featured many members of our expert medical staff, including:
  • Women�s Image: The benefits of nutrition and fitness for beauty, skin health and confidence with Dr. Mark Tracy, physiatrist, and Dr. Roxanne Sylora, plastic surgeon.


  • Women�s Body: A focus on women and their sexual health with Dr. Denise Elser, urogynecologist; Dr. Olga Ivanov, breast surgeon, and Dr. Travis Haldeman, OB/GYN.


  • Women�s Spirit: Discussions on the spiritual, mental and emotional well-being of women with Dr. Traci Powell, psychiatrist.


  • Parenting Issues: Learn strategies for navigating the challenges of parenting with parenting expert Dr. Christopher Higgins.


Guests enjoyed wine and hors d�oeuvres reception before the evenings� speakers.

With a new focus on gender-sensitive medicine for women through all stages of their lives, Little Company of Mary is building a new future for women in the Southwest Chicago area. It is embarking on the development of a new women's center dedicated to helping women live their fullest through healthy minds, bodies and spirits.
