With specif- Iic health and patient care facilities like American Red Cross of South Central Connecticut, VNA Community Healthcare, and Harbor Health Services, Inc., the area is fortunate to have plenty of resources in its backyard. Add to these the new Soundview YMCA and other fitness fa- cilities across town and getting and staying in shape is a snap. Later, when muscles are fatigued and need a break, locals and visitors can turn to one of the many area spas for a massage or other wellness services! Along with bountiful local offerings, the Chamber hosts regular Women in Business events that often focus on health. Attendees will enjoy learning about what op- tions are available to enhance their appearance and better their mental health, while enjoying a delicious lunch and mingling with area business people. Contact the Chamber for details on the next Women in Business event. Hope to see you there!
