Aurora at the Rockville Chamber's Women's Leadership Conference

Aurora Primary Care supported the Greater Rockville Chamber of Commerce's Women's Leadership Conference this September, with Dr. Mudita Malhotra attending in person for a morning built around the theme "Women as Community Builders."

Aurora Primary Care's ad ran in the program book for this year's Rockville Chamber Women's Leadership Conference, and Dr. Mudita Malhotra joined in person for the morning, alongside Chamber President & CEO Marji Graf and Rockville Mayor Monique Ashton, who opened the day around this year's theme: "Women as Community Builders."

Graf's framing stuck with us: "Community builders don't wait to be chosen. They choose themselves." Mayor Ashton picked up the same thread from a different angle, reminding the room that "we don't just build businesses — women build communities, create jobs, mentor others, volunteer, serve on boards, and open doors for the women coming behind them."

It's a fitting theme for a room that included Dr. Malhotra, who built Aurora from the ground up as an independent direct primary care practice in Rockville. Community building isn't a tagline here — it's been the actual plan since day one, and mornings like this one are part of it.
