Congressional Briefing on Breast Cancer Early Detection
With 71% of breast cancer patients having dense breasts and mammograms alone missing 50% of cancer in women with dense breasts, coverage for supplemental screening that is essential for early detection is vital. This Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition briefing explains how screening works and coverage gaps and includes remarks from a patient advocate, breast oncologist clinicians and policy experts. — See recording
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 many symptoms, i.e., hot flashes, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and urinary incontinence – all of which can impact work, families and communities.
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. — See recording

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 highlights valuable research that is closing these gaps and is led by our Pittsburgh Chapter. The speakers are from UPMC Magee-Women’s Health, Women Who Rock and Women's Health Advocates. — See recording
Advocacy How-To Webinar on July 10
Find out how the government works and what it takes to be an effective advocate in shaping policy and funding levels from our expert advocates who share timelines, factors, challenges, and opportunities that all shape the legislative process. The speakers are from the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance, Community Catalyst, G2G Consulting, and former Congressional staff. — See recording
