🌿 Healthy Living NYC

"Healthy living" is an important area of interest for Women's Connection members. We are committed to encouraging and supporting each other as we follow paths aimed at keeping ourselves active, healthy and well connected with other women in our community.

Healthy Living NYC offers access to timely, relevant information, both through events and in articles we'll post on this page. Just as important, we make it easy for you to connect with fellow members who share your health-related interests and goals.

Healthy Living NYC is available exclusively to Women's Connection members.
