About

No need to dread taking on your significant other's med school years alone--you've got a group of (dare we say awesome???) new friends built in. The Wake Med Better Halves are a group of girlfriends, fiancees, and wives of Wake Forest medical, PA, CRNA, and PhD students--and we are here to have each others' backs. That means having tons of different no-fuss fun activities to form friendships (and keep us busy while our other halves study!).

We have a broad range of ages, backgrounds, and experiences, and we love getting to know new people (that means you!). We also try to have a plethora of different outings and activities so everyone can join in. Come to one, some, or all of our get-togethers! This year alone we have a variety, including:

  • Monthly Book Club
  • Dessert Nights
  • Family Potluck dinners
  • Early morning running group
  • Girl's night out
  • Movie nights
  • Playgroups
  • Baby showers, and
  • All kinds of other outings!

It goes above and beyond these basic activities, too. You can make friendships that mean you always have someone to call in an emergency, help with a new baby, friends to hit the new chick flick with, or someone to hang out with during those otherwise lonely exam weeks. We share shopping tips, doctor recommendations, and all that good stuff you need to know when you first move somewhere. In short, we're just friends. Come join us!
