The Hellenic American Women’s Council (HAWC), the leading secular Greek women organization in the country, will be hosting its 15th Annual two day Conference, October 24-25, in Miami, Florida.

“Finding Your Path to Health and Wellness,” will be this year’s theme, featuring an impressive lineup of experts. James Cosmides, M.D. Dermatologist, Anthony Panos, M.D. Associate Professor of Surgery, and Seth Thaller, M.D. Professor and Chief of Plastic Surgery Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, will cover the first half of the main conference day, Saturday, October 25.

During the luncheon following the morning speakers, Panagiota Caralis, M.D. J.D., renowned expert on bioethics, health law, elder care, domestic violence and women’s advocacy, will present the keynote address.

In line with the theme of the conference, HAWC will also pay tribute to the groundbreaking work of world renowned author of The Omega Diet Dr. Artemis P. Simopoulos, conferring upon her the Aristeon Award during the conference luncheon.

Dr. Simopoulos’ The Omega Diet, which has been published in ten languages, is significant because of the headway it made in the recognition by the scientific community and the public of the importance of the balanced ratio of Omega-6/Omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Simopoulos is founder and president of The Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, president and founding member of the International Society of Nutrigenetics/Nutrigenomics (ISNN), and one of the first researchers to discover the virtues of Omega-3 fatty acids through her studies of the Mediterranean peoples.

HAWC’s 15th Annual Conference will conclude with its annual business meeting and biennial election, open to all HAWC members.
