VIDEO: ‘Women’s health is vital’: Advocacy, inclusion key

CHICAGO — In this Healio video exclusive, Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, and Elizabeth Powell, MD, discuss the importance of women’s health advocacy at the Women in Medicine Summit.

“It is key for members of Congress, for your state legislators and for those in your community to understand why women’s health is so important,” Powell, co-founder of the Women’s Health PAC, said.

They also highlighted why it is crucial to include women in everyday health care conversations.

“Women’s health is vital; when we talk about health, women should be a part of that discussion in all areas,” Curry-Winchell, founder and chief medical officer of Beyond Clinical Walls, family medicine physician and health equity advocate, said.

“It’s time to invest in women’s health because when you do that, you invest in the future,” she added.
