SUMMARY:Shaping Access to Reproductive Health Care: Financing and Delivery Systems. A Two-Part Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Standing Committee on Reproductive Health\, Equity\, and Society will organize a two-part webinar to examine issues around financing and delivery of reproductive health care services in the U.S. Speakers\, including health care providers and researchers\, will discuss the ways in which public and private—financing\, institutions\, and systems—shape equitable access to comprehensive reproductive health care. \nPart I will focus on the coverage and limitations of public and private reproductive health care financing\, the relationship between financing mechanisms and equitable access to reproductive health care\, and strategies to reduce financial barriers to accessing comprehensive reproductive health care services. \nPart II will focus on the influence of public and private institutions and systems on access to and delivery of reproductive health care services. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat: Menopause - A Patient’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:Menopause affects 1 million people each year in the United States\,1 and up to 80% of them may experience hot flashes or night sweats (Vasomotor Symptoms\, VMS)2. Although VMS are considered a hallmark of menopause\, the etiology behind what is causing them is not well understood. \nDuring this program\, Patricia Geraghty\, MSN\, FNP-BC\, WHNP\, will review the hormonal changes that occur in the HPO (hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian) axis that result in menopausal symptoms\, including VMS. She will also review the latest understanding about how VMS may result from dysregulation of the brain’s thermoregulatory center. Throughout the program\, she will provide examples of how patients may be counseled on the hormonal changes of menopause and how the brain may be involved in mediating VMS. \nSince the average age of menopause in the United States is 512\, individuals may experience menopausal symptoms in the workplace. The Society of Women’s Health Research (SWHR) recently conducted an Employee Perspectives and Challenges Concerning the Transition of Menopause (EMPACT Menopause) Study to better understand menopause in the workplace. Ms. Kathryn G. Schubert\, MPP\, CAE\, President and CEO of SWRH\, will review the EMPACT study findings during this fireside chat. \nFollowing the program\, there will be a live Q&A discussion with the panel. \n\nhttps://www.nia.nih.gov/news/research-explores-impact-menopause-womens-health-and-aging\nhttps://www.menopause.org/for-women/expert-answers-to-frequently-asked-questions-about-menopause/menopause-faqs-understanding-the-symptoms\n\nHear from SWHR at the event! SWHR President and CEO Kathryn G. Schubert is speaking during this webinar. \nRegister \n  \nThis fireside chat is sponsored by Bayer and is not for CE credit.

SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers in Alzheimer’s Disease Series: Innovative Diagnostics for Women
DESCRIPTION:Approximately two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease patients are women\, as well as more than 60% of their caregivers. Stigma surrounding in Alzheimer’s disease 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 disease. \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 disease journey. \nSWHR hosted 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:2024 Migraine State of the Union
DESCRIPTION:Join hosts to learn about the recently published American Headache Society position statement update regarding calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-targeting therapies as first-line treatments for migraine prevention. Our expert panel will discuss how this statement will hopefully lead to earlier access for patients\, without having to fail other therapies currently available. Discussion will include how the paper was developed through real-world data about patient experiences\, why it is important to patients and how you can utilize the updated position to access care earlier. \nAttendees will also hear about the American Migraine Foundation’s recent accomplishments\, plans for the future and other promising developments in migraine advocacy and education. \nThe event will feature AMF Chair and Vice Chair\, Dr Christine Lay and Nim Singh\, along with AHS colleagues Drs Kathleen Digre and Rashmi Halker Singh and patient advocate Lindsey de los Santos. \nRegister
