Women's Health Research: Why We Need It Now More Than Ever Webinar on July 7
Women face health conditions that solely, disproportionately, and/or differently affect them yet they remain underrepresented and underfunded in research and overlooked in healthcare. Only 2% of venture capital and 8% of government grants are dedicated to women's health. This webinar explores innovations that are closing these gaps and how we can advance research. The speakers are from UPMC Magee-Women’s Health, Women Who Rock and Women's Health Advocates.
Congressional Briefing on Menopause
Some 75 million American women are currently in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause. Once a woman transitions to menopause, her risk for heart disease, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s, and other conditions increases significantly. Women can experience any of 100+ symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and urinary incontinence – all of which can impact work, families and communities where women are essential. Lost workdays alone due to menopause symptoms cost the U.S. economy $1.8 billion annually, according to the Mayo Clinic. This briefing examines the vast impact of menopause and policy recommendations with speakers from Golden Seeds and Femtech AZ, Hello Heart, Elektra Health, the National Menopause Foundation and the NY Assembly.
