Our goals

The Women’s Health Working Group was formed in 2020 with the goals of:

  • Optimizing the health of women and all those who identify as women.
  • Provide a review of policies from the lens of women’s health – ranging from reproductive rights to gun violence to drug pricing to substance use disorders to immigrant rights.

Our guiding principles

Equity: Every woman in America has a fundamental right to equitable, high-quality, and affordable health care regardless of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography.

Justice: All women should have the opportunity and autonomy to lead a healthy life. Every part of society should value and promote healthy families and safe communities.

Partnership: Doctors of all specialties should take a leadership role in improving health care of women and ending health disparities.

What You Can Do

We look forward to working with you to advance women’s health!

Share Your Stories

Stories are the most powerful way change happens. Have you met a patient with a compelling story of why women’s health matters? You can speak for her – protect her identity and make sure the world knows what is happening to real people! Share your story in a blog, letter to the editor, op ed, or on Facebook or Twitter. The more people hear the stories, the more we can create real change.

Contact Your Elected Officials

Make sure your elected officials know how you feel: your representatives at the city, state, and federal level are responsible to you – whether you share their views or not. Make sure your views are counted. You can contact them by phone, email, in person, or tweet!

Work Together

Get together with others (safely, of course!): there’s always power (and fun!) in numbers. Host a virtual or socially distant gathering of other people who care about women’s health access so you can brainstorm together what action you can take. If you have a great idea that takes off, share with us, and maybe we can spread it nationally!

Reach Out to Local Organizations

Ask your local Planned Parenthood how you can get involved.
