Over time, we’ve also heard from men who are married to female healthcare workers—men who are navigating many of the same pressures, transitions, and unique challenges and who are seeking meaningful connection with others who understand their context. In response, we are prayerfully launching a virtual Side By Side small group for men: Side By Side - Men’s Virtual. This pilot gathering is designed to create space for encouragement, conversation, and shared experience among men married to women in healthcare. If you know of a man married to a female healthcare professional who would be interested in being part of this virtual small group, or simply want to learn more, we invite you to reach out to chapter leader Arturo Villanueva at sidebysidemensvirtual@gmail.com. We’re grateful for your willingness to step in as we explore what it looks like to walk side by side in this season.

Led by Lindsay Ilgenfritz, Brittany Patterson, Kenzie Givler, and Jeanine Bruen, this team is committed to building a movement of prayer that fuels everything we do. Want to go deeper? We’re forming a Core Prayer Team for women who feel called to intercession. An interest form will be launching soon—stay tuned! Let’s be a ministry marked by prayer—not just reactive prayer, but rooted, regular, revival-stirring prayer. “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. – Zechariah 4:6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6580edbd35c99e5f09564792/fb46e2c9-e92f-477e-90dd-dce4d8b5ddb4/CMDA+Northeast.jpg Side By Side Blog - August 2025 Announcements Northeast Regional Conference with CMDA Side By Side will have a presence at the CMDA Northeast Regional Conference this October, where our very own Julie Fernandez will be representing and sharing encouragement with the women who attend.

July marks a season of fresh starts—new hospitals, new rotations, new cities, and for many, brand-new roles as medical spouses. But no matter how unfamiliar the path ahead feels, we step forward rooted in Christ. Whether this is your tenth July or your very first, know that you do not walk alone. The Lord goes before you, and we, your Side By Side community, are with you too. We believe that God has uniquely equipped you to be a steady and grace-filled presence in your home, marriage, and community. Let’s begin this year with courage, curiosity, and deep trust—knowing that our calling is not just to survive this journey, but to grow through it, together. Hugs, Rebecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6580edbd35c99e5f09564792/2e07dbce-8925-4f63-bc7f-67a1e2844d7c/unnamed.png Side By Side Blog - July 2025 Announcements - Make it stand out Introducing Our New South Regional Director- Bekah Baglio We are thrilled to announce Bekah Baglio as the newest addition to our Executive Team, stepping into the role of South Regional Director! Bekah is no stranger to Side By Side. From Blacksburg to Charleston and now Greenville, SC, she has lived the mission of our ministry in every season—from leading Bible studies and communications, to relaunching morning groups and mentoring young women in her church. Bekah describes Side By Side as “literally the hands and feet of Jesus to a group of people that society or the average church ministry doesn’t view as ‘in need.’” Her testimony of being supported—meals, prayer, childcare, grocery runs—has shaped her desire to now pour back into others. A homeschooling mom of three (Levi, Isaac, and Amaris), married to a family medicine attending, Bekah shares that for the first time in years she feels ready and called to dedicate more regular time to ministry. She says the Lord made the timing clear, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her "yes." Bekah’s warmth, authenticity, and passion for community-building make her a beautiful fit to encourage and equip our leaders throughout the South. Please join us in welcoming Bekah with joy and prayer as she begins this meaningful new chapter with us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6580edbd35c99e5f09564792/e36f1757-ceaf-4ed9-8231-82f512085309/unnamed.png Side By Side Blog - July 2025 Announcements - Make it stand out Happy Independence Day! This 4th of July, we celebrate the gift of freedom — as a nation, as women of faith, and as those called to serve. As part of a women’s ministry and as wives of devoted medical doctors, we are reminded daily of the courage, compassion, and calling it takes to serve others. Whether in the hospital or in our homes, may we always reflect the love and strength of Christ. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” — Galatians 5:1 (NIV) This Independence Day, we are thankful for the freedom to worship, to lead, and to love — and for the medical heroes (especially ours ) who embody that freedom through sacrifice and service. Here’s to freedom, faith, and fearless women.

An Easter Reflection from Rebecca Easter is the ultimate reminder that hope is alive. The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a moment in history—it’s the foundation of our faith, the victory over sin and death, and the promise that we are never without hope. Because He lives, we have new life, renewed strength, and the assurance that nothing—not even the hardest seasons of marriage, motherhood, or ministry—is beyond His redemption. May this Easter fill you with the deep joy of knowing that Christ’s power is at work in you today. He has conquered the grave, and because of that, we can walk in freedom, confidence, and unwavering hope. He is risen indeed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6580edbd35c99e5f09564792/12592bd0-c14c-4583-bd10-8bfab0a2f5a3/345b6022-5882-5196-2d76-0aad6e88912d.jpg Side By Side Blog - April 2025 Announcements International Spotlight: God at Work in Malawi "Since our PAACS wives started a weekly Bible study and joined Side By Side, my husband has noticed a marked improvement in resident morale.

The medical profession is a noble one, where our husbands are entrusted with the well-being of others. Each day brings new challenges, new discoveries, and new ways for them to alleviate suffering. As their wives, it is our privilege to be their biggest support, encouraging them to use the gifts and talents bestowed upon them by our Creator to bring comfort, hope, and restoration to those who are hurting. As we embark on this new chapter of the medical new year, let us approach it with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication. Together, let us embrace the adventures and challenges that await, confident in the knowledge that the Lord is with us, empowering us to fulfill our calling with grace, skill, and unwavering compassion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6580edbd35c99e5f09564792/cb67183c-0e09-40f2-808d-b0d42c13675c/International.png Side By Side Blog - July 2024 Announcements - Departing International Regional Director Rachelen Varghese has faithfully served as the Side By Side Executive Team as International Regional Director for many years. She has been instrumental in establishing numerous new international chapters across the globe, as well as providing ongoing care, guidance, and support to current chapters.

The Marriage Enrichment Ministry was started by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® members who saw a need to minister to married healthcare professionals. This ministry provides four to six conferences per year, known as Marriage Enrichment Weekends to provide healthcare couples with an opportunity to nurture and grow in their marital relationships. The conferences are led by members of the Marriage Commission of CMDA. They have a three-fold format consisting of brief information sessions, private time for couples to work on assignments to assess their marital relationship, and small group sessions which address the unique needs and stresses of healthcare marriages. The effects of today’s healthcare professions have taken its toll on marriages. Increasing time pressures, fiscal burdens, continuing education requirements, and countless demands have made building strong marriage relationships all the more difficult. CMDA recognizes a need to provide healthcare couples with an opportunity to nurture and grow in their marital relationships. The Marriage Enrichment Weekends offer a comfortable, get-away-from-it-all setting, allowing couples to communicate and experience a deeper appreciation for their marriage partnership.
