The annual New Directions for Women Luncheon is a premiere fundraising event for National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. The program brings awareness to the heart and lung health of women. At National Jewish Health world-class physicians and scientists seek to understand the unique symptoms, diagnoses, prevention and social issues women face with heart and lung disease.
