MARKETING DIRECTOR

The second Sunday of May has always been a special day for me-not only because I am the mother
of two phenomenal daughters, but also because I
have had the privilege of being "mothered" by many courageous, brilliant, insightful and strong women. Without the wisdom and strength of my many mothers, I would have most
certainly collapsed or given up hope at multiple points in my
life. Their love saved me! Each Mother's Day, I try to honor
these women in some special way-a quick text, phone call,
Pamela
flowers-just something to let them know how much they
Sutton-Wallace
have meant to me.
Mother's Day was created more than a century ago by a West Virginia woman, Anna
Jarvis, who believed in setting aside a day to honor all mothers because they have
"done more for you than anyone in the world." She chose the humble carnation as the
emblem of mothers as it "does not drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart ... and so,
too, mothers hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying."
This issue of Vigor is dedicated to all women. Without a doubt, many of us find
ourselves serving in the role of mother to those we love- even if they aren't our biological children. I hope you take the time to treat yourself to the informative and heartwarming stories inside.
You'll learn the latest, most widely accepted health screening guidelines for women,
from mammograms to blood pressure tests and bone density exams. You'll also meet
Dr. Brandy Patterson and Katherine Basbaum, two of our experts behind Club Red.
They are both passionate about sharing their knowledge so all women can enjoy leading heart-healthy lives.
We all have stress in our lives, and as you'll learn on page 28, chronic stress can
result in high blood pressure and damaged arteries, increasing our risk for heart
attack. But no need to worry; this issue also brings great ideas for managing stress.
One simple way is to think of the carnation and be sure to carve out time for hugs
from the ones you love-on Mother's Day and every day of the year.
Yours in health,

Pamela Sutton-Wallace
CEO, UVA Medical Center
