SUMMARY:Sex Cells: The Fight to Overcome Bias and Discrimination in Women’s Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Help us celebrate Phyllis Greenberger’s accomplishments and lifetime commitment to women’s health! \nListen to what inspired Phyllis to publish her new book with Mayo Clinic Press\, “Sex Cells\,” which tells the story of how she and her allies in the U.S. government\, NGOs\, academia\, medical research and public health advocacy got the scientific and medical world to recognize that women are unique. \nInside a museum dedicated to renewing and inspiring a love of words and language\, hear from Phyllis about her 25-year fight to have female cells\, lab animals and humans brought into medical research\, so women can receive treatment that is appropriate and effective for a wide range of conditions. \nThe journey toward equal treatment and the understanding of sex and gender differences in prevention\, diagnosis and treatment is still unfolding. \nJoin HealthyWomen\, SWHR\, and other leaders in women’s health on Sunday\, April 14\, in Washington\, D.C.\, to hear about that journey — why it was\, and still is\, so important to do research specific to women/females. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers in Alzheimer’s Disease: Perspectives on Early Stage Alzheimer's
DESCRIPTION:Approximately two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease patients are women\, as well as more than 60% of their caregivers. Stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia can cause some women to dismiss symptoms as normal aging or menopausal brain fog and delay talking to their health care provider. Moreover\, coverage of screening and diagnostic tests can be difficult and confusing to navigate\, also contributing to delays in diagnosing and treating Alzheimer’s.  \nAn early diagnosis is essential for slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease\, planning for long-term care\, and maintaining quality of life for both patients and their caregivers. It also provides more opportunities for individuals to participate in medical decisions and potential clinical trials\, as well as maintain meaningful social relationships within their community.  \nResearchers are continuing to investigate more cost-effective and noninvasive approaches for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Coupling education to innovation broadens awareness and helps women make informed decisions about their health care throughout their Alzheimer’s journey.  \nSWHR hosted a series of webinars to share the experiences of women with Alzheimer’s disease and highlight the importance of access to innovative diagnostics throughout the diagnostic journey.  \nThe SWHR Breaking Barriers in Alzheimer’s Disease series includes:  \n\nPerspectives on Early Stage Alzheimer’s (April 2024) \nInnovative Diagnostics for Women (June 2024)\nOpportunities to Enhance Women’s Health through Alzheimer’s Disease Policy Initiatives (Nov 2024)\nA Congressional Briefing | Early Signs\, Lasting Impact: Policy Pathways in Alzheimer’s Disease Detection and Care (May 2025)

SUMMARY:Talking All Things Women’s Heart Health
DESCRIPTION:Heart disease is the number one killer of both women and men annually in the United States. Yet\, less than half of women recognize its role as the leading cause of death among women. \nDuring this virtual event\, SWHR hosts a “fireside chat” style conversation with Dr. Stephanie Coulter of The Texas Heart Institute about the current state of cardiovascular disease screening and diagnostics\, what barriers might hinder women’s access to care\, and potential solutions to overcome those barriers as well as what women should be doing at each age when it comes to managing their heart health.
