Almost two years ago, we were hosting a nwaMotherlode booth at the Women’s Business Expo at the John Q. Hammonds Convention Center. One of the speakers during the conference was Dr. Mary Bourland, a cardiac surgeon for Mercy Health System. Shannon and I were busy with booth duties, so we missed the doctor’s speech. But, boy, did we hear about it afterward! Women came streaming out of the auditorium and over to the Mercy Health booth to ask for more info about Dr. Bourland and her speech. They wanted copies of it! They wanted to ask her questions. They all raved about her speech and how much it hit home. She was like a medical rock star that day.
So, obviously, we were curious about what she had said that had gotten everyone so fired up about being healthy. We asked her if we could film a very condensed version of her speech to use here in Doc Talk, and she graciously agreed. Click on the play arrow below to watch Dr. Bourland talk about the five things you should do to improve your health. Some of them might surprise you!
