Welcome1Greetings Conference Participants,It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you to Women’sHealth Awareness 2019, a women’s health and wellnessconference. This year, we celebrate five years of serving womenand families of the Triangle community and surroundingcounties. On behalf of the National Institute of EnvironmentalHealth Sciences (NIEHS); Durham Alumnae Chapter of DeltaSigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Durham Alumnae Delta House, Inc.;and Public Health Education Department at North CarolinaCentral University, we say thank you to all of our past andpresent conference participants and partners for yourunwavering dedication to support us in enhancing the lives ofwomen over the past five years.Our continued theme for this conference is “Transforming Communities by Enhancing Women’s Health.” We believethat if we motivate and empower women to take care of their health, they will, in turn, take care of their family’shealth, producing a healthier community, state, and nation. Our purpose is to promote awareness and to informwomen so they can take greater responsibility for their health, understand their health options, and identify servicesand products to best help in reducing health issues and receiving equal access to health resources.Awareness of how the environment impacts our health is important for successful healthy living. At NIEHS,we believe environmental awareness, as it relates to health outcomes for women, is extremely important. Exposuresto environmental pollutants, chemicals, industrial products, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and social determinants cannegatively impact women’s health. This wellness conference has been designed to promote healthier lives throughdisease prevention, control, and management. We hope that bringing health education, environmental healthawareness, and literacy to women of the Triangle will help develop healthier families, and environmentally-saferhomes and communities.No event of this magnitude and scope can be organized without teamwork and partnerships. We want to thank ourmany partners, event steering and planning committee members, and subcommittee members for their supportand dedicated service in the planning and implementation of this day. Without them, this event would not exist.We thank our corporate, business, and local community partners for their support through generous contributionsand services. The monetary and in-kind support of all our partners makes it possible to offer this health and wellnessconference free for our community. Finally, we thank our volunteers for their tireless service. We treasure yoursupport and time given to make this event a success.We have an impressive group of faculty and service providers supporting this event. This group includes researchers,public health practitioners, and health care professionals. These experts and leaders have effectively served aschampions in our communities as advocates for women, minorities, the disabled, and disadvantaged populations.We are grateful for our event faculty and service providers who help make Women’s Health Awareness 2019 a success.Most importantly, we are honored that YOU, the women (and men) of the Triangle and surrounding counties, havechosen to participate in this exciting health and wellness conference. We hope you will have a fun and constructiveday of learning and gathering important health information that will positively impact your daily life and health.We are excited you are here!
