Women's Salon Series

El Rio Health's impact reaches farther than many people realize.

In this Women's Salon Series conversation, Brenda Goldsmith shares just how much El Rio has grown—now serving more than 130,000 patients, with 15 locations across Southern Arizona.
That means approximately 1 in 9 Tucsonans receive care through El Rio Health.

As the organization continues to expand, including a new location at the former Tucson Heart Hospital, its mission remains the same: making high-quality, compassionate healthcare accessible to our community.

Thank you to Brenda Goldsmith for sharing these incredible milestones and for helping us better understand the impact El Rio Health has on Southern Arizona. 💙

Great healthcare doesn't happen alone—it happens through collaboration.

We were honored to welcome Liz to this Women's Salon Series event and we

are so grateful she shared such a meaningful story.

Her experience reminds us that healthcare is about so much more than appointments—it's about building relationships that last through every season of life. From helping patients in their 20s navigate family planning to celebrating milestones decades later, those connections are truly special.

Thank you, Liz, for your compassion, your dedication, and for being part of such an inspiring conversation.

We were excited to host you and celebrate the incredible work you do for our community. 💙

Great healthcare starts with great people.

In this Salon Series conversation, Liz Ramirez shares why El Rio Health immediately felt like home—and how a culture built on collaboration, respect, and shared decision-making shaped her career. It's a reminder that the strongest organizations aren't built around one voice. They're built by teams working together for the people they serve.

Thank you to Brenda Goldsmith, Executive Director of the El Rio Foundation, and Liz Ramirez for sharing the story behind a mission that now serves more than 128,000 patients across Southern Arizona.

Real leadership. Real impact. 💙

We were honored to continue the conversation with Alden Carroll at the REFINED Women’s Salon Series as she shared practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional processing.

From fight, flight, and freeze responses to simple somatic practices that help bring the brain back online, the discussion highlighted how movement, awareness, and self regulation can help people process stress in healthier ways.

Sometimes healing starts with understanding what the body is already trying to communicate.

The Women’s Salon Series is dedicated to creating meaningful conversations, connection, and growth for women in Tucson and beyond.

We were honored to host Alden Carroll at the REFINED Women’s Salon Series as she guided attendees through Emotional Freedom Technique tapping and practical nervous system regulation tools.

The session focused on accessible techniques designed to help people process stress, reconnect with their bodies, and create moments of calm in everyday life.

From guided tapping exercises to free stress reset resources, the event was filled with meaningful education and support.

Conversations like these are exactly what the Women’s Salon Series is all about.

Stay connected for future Tucson events focused on wellness, growth, leadership, and community.

Leadership growth happens through meaningful conversation, community connection, and shared experiences that challenge perspectives.

The Women’s Salon Series was created as a space for women to connect, listen, and engage in real, relevant discussions.

Each event is designed to feel relaxed, welcoming, and inspiring while encouraging personal and professional growth.

This is more than networking, it’s a community built on support, ideas, and powerful conversations.

Women today are balancing careers, families, expectations, and the constant pressure to do it all perfectly.

The answer isn’t doing more, it’s finding the right community and support system around you.

The Women’s Salon Series creates space for real conversations, honest perspectives, and meaningful connection.

This is where support feels human, authentic, and grounded in shared experience and growth.

If you want to be part of this kind of community, send us a DM or share your email to join the guest list.

We are here with Jenny, retired from the university, sharing what she loves most about the Women’s Salon Series.

It’s not just about learning. It’s about discovering new ideas, asking questions you didn’t even know you had, and exploring topics in a way that feels approachable and real.

What stood out most is the environment. Comfortable. Casual. Open.

A space where you can ask questions, learn something new, and leave with a different perspective.

That’s what makes this community so special.
