The members of Hoag’s Women’s Health Institute Campaign Advisory Committee are doing their part to make sure women in our community are aware of the programs and services available in their own backyard—and how to support them. 

“It is so important that we share and educate our friends, sisters and neighbors about how blessed we are to have Hoag’s Women’s Health Institute,” says Terry Callahan, Women’s Health Institute Campaign Advisory Committee chair. “I was touched when I heard Ginny Ueberroth say that when the mother in the family becomes sick, the whole family is affected. I experienced that in my own life and I wholly support Hoag’s focus on keeping women in all life stages healthy in body, mind and spirit.” 

Committee members are connecting the community with Hoag’s Women’s Health Institute and the Hoag Promise Campaign. They generously open their homes to host salons and invite neighbors, friends and colleagues to learn about Hoag’s spectrum of care that spans from yoga and meditation to high-precision robotic surgery, pelvic floor health and breast care. 

“We are deeply grateful to this phenomenal group of women for their generosity and support,” says Allyson M. Brooks, M.D., Ginny Ueberroth Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair at Hoag’s Women’s Health Institute and chief quality officer, Hoag. “I am touched by their compassion for each other and for the women in our community. They are committed to raising awareness and funds for Hoag to give women access to innovative models of self-care, prevention and, when needed, world-class health care.”
