Who We Are

To be a member of the Bethesda Women’s Board is to make a difference in the lives of the residents and patients in our Bethesda communities. While our gatherings are filled with laughter and friendship, the ultimate purpose of the Women’s Board is to support Bethesda’s mission of providing quality care and services to our residents and patients regardless of their ability to pay.
