Women's Circle

02/20/2026

Yesterday, at our first Women’s Circle meeting of 2026, Terri Carroll, NP, of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at Amarillo, shared her expertise in sleep medicine. Her honest, informative conversation about sleep apnea shed light on something many women may struggle with but is rarely discussed. It was empowering, practical, and deeply relevant.

Yesterday was a reminder of what makes the Women's Circle so special – women showing up for their health, for one another, and for lasting impact in our community.

Thank you to every woman who came and continues to be part of this circle. We’re just getting started.
