Dear Friends: One of the best aspects of serving in health care is that our work is infused with hope. As another year dawns, we at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System look forward to being a part of many more healings and transforming pain and suffering into celebrations of wellness. Among the ways CHRISTUS Santa Rosa extends the gift of hope is through preventive education. With heart disease continuing to lead among fatal illnesses, especially for women, we work diligently to deliver the word that this condition can be avoided. In this issue, we discuss how heart disease in women is often misunderstood, and we offer helpful information about fighting the disease. Pages 4 and 5 are filled with insights about this important health concern. Nothing says hope more than the birth of a child. We consider it a sacred privilege to bring new life into this world, and we want that event to live up to each family's expectation. I invite you to discover the comfort, education, and emotional support provided at our Mother and Baby Centers. For us, the New Year is steeped in optimism. We continue to grow to meet increasing opportunities to serve the wellness needs of our community. Our wish for you and your family is that every day of 2014 is filled with health, happiness, and hope. Wishing you well, Patrick B.
