Women's wellness spans from childhood into adolescence, through the childbearing period, and into older age. It includes not only wellness issues related to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions but also the consequences of intimate partner violence and mental health issues. ⋯ In addition, when women are connected to the health care system, their families are also more likely to be connected. This issue of the North Carolina Medical Journal explores the many aspects of women's health and its many impacts.
