Choose to Be

Living your best life isn’t always easy. But with the right information, motivation and achievable goals, your best life is right before you. That’s why Baptist Women’s Hospital created the Choose to Be app for women. The Choose to Be app gives you the knowledge and power to make the right choices for a healthy, active and productive lifestyle for every stage of life.

The stresses women face from school, work, family responsibilities, and physical and mental health issues are unique to women, and their remedies must be as well. The information in this app is comes directly from the experienced team of obstetricians and gynecologists at Baptist Women’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Using plain language and helpful graphics, the app is a definitive source of accurate information to help women navigate health issues and learn about their bodies from pre-adolescence through menopause, and beyond. From helping young girls learn what is happening in their first menstruation to understanding the relationships between lifelong women’s health and heart disease (the silent killer among women), breast cancer and osteoporosis.

The app also provides fun insight on what women can do to feel healthier, more energetic and mentally sharper.
