Today’s Woman Foundation is a great non-profit organization that not only provides help for women in financial need, but with health issues as well. This group evolved out of the Choice Medical Group of Apple Valley over a decade ago, back in 2000. The 5^th Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon featured the lovely Miss California – Arianna Afsar.  Gayle Taylor, currently battling cancer, was given $1500 to help her during this time. This is indicative of the heart and charity that the foundation works for. Today’s  Woman Foundation feels strongly about giving healthcare opportunities. Women of all shapes and sizes, of all backgrounds, and with unique issues, are all deserving of healthcare. This organization grows on the idea of providing this for these women.  Diana Pasillas, President of the Today’s Woman Foundation, said, “This particular event presents a scholarship from the Anna Sugi Endowment Fund. That goes to a woman who wants to further her education, no matter what her age, someone who is seeking to better her education and her future.”

Over the past ten years Today’s Woman has:

• Provided thousands of Free Health Screenings
  

The biggest event, held in Victorville, The Today’s Woman Expo, will be on October 15^th this year. The event brings in thousands of guests every year. Stay tuned.

It’s been said that you don’t appreciate your good health until you’re sick. I know that’s true for me. I don’t always take the best care of myself until I’m not feeling well. One of the most basic forms of illness prevention is the vaccine.
There are many vaccines that address a variety of disease and sicknesses. Among the most common are the childhood immunizations and flu shots. Other vaccines can go a long ways in preventing cancer or whooping cough. But medical experts say the effectiveness of vaccines can wear out over time. In this weeks wellness segment, we take a little closer look at the importance of vaccines and how they can improve your health and that of your family.
