Women, The Family And Health

Welcome from Vera Rivers, President RCA

It is my sincere hope that each of you will benefit from this workshop. Please take advantage of the information for your health and share your knowledge with women in your networks.

I deeply regret that my travel has been restricted for medical reasons. Current treatment is working well and I hope to return to full activity soon.

There is much to be done in your countries and indeed in the world to benefit women and all people. Every area of our lives is important, but health is important for all other achievements.

Within a few weeks I will be in contact with organizations that are members of the Regional Council of the Americas.

Meanwhile, should any of you wish to contact me, feel free to do so.

I look forward to seeing some of you in Finland.

Best regards,
Vera P. Rivers
President, RCA
