Issues arise, however, when the value of these strengths is not fully recognized in clinical care. As my friend and colleague, Dr. Laura Garelick put it, “You can’t code for chatting.” Join us as we dig into the strength of women’s relationships and how we could more fully realize their power in clinical practice and in our personal lives.

Laura Garelick MD is a family medicine physician and certified health and well-being coach who practices at Beth Israel Lahey Health Primary Care in Medfield, MA.
