Are you heading to ViVE in a couple weeks? Our Managing Director Elizabeth Bailey will moderating the panel: Standing Up for Women’s Health Don't miss the chance to hear from Carolyn Witte, Co-Founder and CEO of Tia, Christine Henningsgaard, Co-Founder and CEO of Quilted Health, Kelli Tice, MD, VP of Medical Affairs & Chief Health Equity Officer of GuideWell and Dr. Neel Shah Chief Medical Officer of Maven Clinic. Panel Description: "The state of women's health in a post-Roe era has been marked by clinic closures, uncertainties in access, and further abortion restrictions. With a focus on addressing maternal health deserts and amping up the research into women-specific health issues, new models such as membership clinics, virtual care and the increasing role of doulas and midwives are proving that health innovators will not sit back and accept the status quo. Despite the urgent need, establishing more modern women's health models in states with opposing ideals will be a continued challenge for founders in a politically charged 2024. Noteworthy initiatives, such as the White House's commitment to addressing the underfunding of women's health research, give us hope for the future, but the alarming statistics, including the closure of over 200 rural hospitals delivering nearly 1 in 10 babies in the U.S, underscore the urgency of finding sustainable solutions for underserved women. To life, liberty and the pursuit of equitable and accessible women's healthcare." See you there! #vive2024 #vive #healthcare #womenshealth

We're commemorating Women's History Month by honoring extraordinary trailblazers who have profoundly influenced the landscape of healthcare. From pioneering doctors to compassionate nurses, their contributions are immeasurable and essential. Let's raise a toast to the remarkable women who have healed, innovated, and inspired generations. Highlighted below are just a few of these extraordinary women: - Elizabeth Blackwell, MD: The first woman in the United States to be granted an MD degree in 1849. - Rebecca Lee Crumpler, MD: The first African American woman in the United States to earn an MD degree. - Florence Nightingale: A pioneering figure in nursing and healthcare reform. - Antonia Novello, MD: A dedicated public health advocate who made history as the first female and first Hispanic US Surgeon General in 1990. She spearheaded numerous health campaigns to enhance healthcare access, particularly for women, children, and minority populations. - Dr. Margaret "Mom" Chung: The first Chinese American woman to become a physician. She established one of the earliest Western medical clinics in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1920s. - Susan La Flesche Picotte: Widely recognized as one of the first Indigenous people and the first Indigenous woman to earn a medical degree. She was a fervent advocate for public health and other critical issues. It's noteworthy that female physicians now constitute over 36% of the healthcare workforce, a significant rise from 6% in 1950. Additionally, Black and Hispanic women now make up 11.5% of the physician workforce, and this percentage continues to grow steadily. #womeninhealthcare #womenshistorymonth #trendsetters #healthcare #medicine #healthcare #pioners

Key findings highlight the challenges and benefits of navigating online spaces for emotional support, especially when in-person networks fall short. ???

We now have 113 days of freedom until the November 5, 2024 election. If Trump and Congressional Republicans win the 2024 elections, there is little doubt that they will: * Ban medical abortions, despite their safety * Enact a national ban on abortion, without meaningful exceptions * Limit other reproductive healthcare rights for women and girls, as discussed here and below We should ignore whatever Trump and Congressional Republicans say about their abortion positions and instead examine their track record, which shows that they consistently act to deny abortion rights. The Republican Party's evangelical base strongly opposes abortions and Republicans are unable to oppose them on this issue, regardless of their public statements to the contrary.
