The Women’s Fund for Health Education and Research is cooperating with Memorial Hermann doctors to present a seminar, Sleep of a Lifetime, at Houston Baptist University on November 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The seminar is part of an endowment which has often featured speakers bringing cutting-edge information on different women’s health issues.

During the event, Drs. Colleen Lance, Cindy Kam-Tai Jon and Liliana Diaz will report on different sleep issues related to cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, affecting both women and children. Attendees will have the opportunity for one-on-one questions with the doctors and will receive a sleep screening and evaluation.

Sharon Saunders, vice president of university relations at HBU and lifetime member of The Women’s Fund, recognized the potential for partnership between these two organizations based on their similar interests in providing educational opportunities to the community. Houston Baptist University is an independent, Christian liberal arts institution, dedicated to the development of the intellect, the moral character and the spiritual lives of its students.

The Women’s Fund for Health Education and Research is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide women and girls with the tools they need to become advocates for their own health.
