SUMMARY:Inclusive Motherhood: Empowering Maternal Health for All Women
DESCRIPTION:Despite advances in medical care\, the United States remains one of the leading high-income countries for maternal morbidity and mortality\, particularly for pregnant women and infants from racial and ethnic minority groups. According to the CDC\, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio was 24.9 per 100\,000 live births\, representing approximately 904 deaths. Of these deaths\, more than 80% were preventable and Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die a pregnancy-related death than white women. Maternal health issues span beyond maternal mortality to include maternal morbidity\, birth risks\, and infant outcomes. Too many who women who have a “successful” pregnancy and delivery experience significant adverse health consequences. \nAfrican American\, American Indian and Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander women have higher rates of preterm birth and low birthweight and are more likely to receive delayed or no pregnancy-related care. Disparities that persist across maternal and infant health are driven by multifactorial influences\, including health care coverage and access\, systemic racism\, discrimination\, and income. \nDespite the current state of maternal health\, there are opportunities to identify\, expand\, and promote solutions to this public health crisis. Strategies must aim to reduce disease and death among mothers and infants\, understand how non-pregnancy conditions affect short and long-term health outcomes\, and address health disparities across diverse populations. Improving maternal and infant health is key to preventing illness and death and enhancing overall population health. \nSWHR convened an interdisciplinary Maternal Health Working Group of health care providers\, researchers\, patient advocates\, and health care policy leaders for a closed convening in February 2025. During the convening\, the Working Group discussed maternal health disparities with an emphasis on empowering pregnant women with the knowledge\, tools\, and strategies to engage in care that elevates their unique needs and values. \nThis is an SWHR Event.

SUMMARY:Antiviral Treatments for COVID-19 & Flu: How They Work and Why They Matter
DESCRIPTION:Antiviral treatments are prescription medications that can help the body fight viral infections – easing symptoms\, shortening the length of sickness\, and lowering the risk of spreading the infection. They’re especially valuable for older adults and other high-risk groups\, but data shows a persistent gap between the need for these treatments and actual prescription rates. \nJoin the Alliance for Aging Research and our partners at Champions for Vaccine Education\, Equity\, and Progress (CVEEP) to learn more about antiviral treatments for flu and COVID-19 – who should take them\, how they work\, the need to start them quickly after an infection\, and what people should do if they are sick. \nPanelists include: \n\nDr. Amesh Adalja\, Senior Scholar\, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security\nDr. William Schaffner\, Past Medical Director and Current Spokesperson\, National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID)\nLindsay Clarke\, JD\, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Health Education\, Alliance for Aging Research (AAR) (moderator)\n\nLearn More

SUMMARY:WHAM Virtual Roundtable Series – Breaking the Cycle: The Case for Sex-Based Innovation and Investment
DESCRIPTION:Why\, in 2025\, do we still lack the diagnostics\, treatments\, and investment needed to protect our wives\, mothers\, sisters\, and daughters? Heart disease is the #1 killer of women—yet it remains dramatically underfunded\, under-researched\, and underdiagnosed. More than 45% of women over 20 have some form of cardiovascular disease\, half of U.S. women are ill-prepared for pregnancy due to heart health risks\, and women are 50% more likely to die following a heart attack. Yet\, just 4% of NIH research funding is dedicated to women’s heart disease\, and only 2% of venture capital goes to women’s health solutions. \nThe numbers are staggering—but the solutions are within reach. This isn’t just a health crisis; it’s a missed economic opportunity. Investing in women’s heart health isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a high-return\, scalable market opportunity. WHAM’s 3Not30 initiative is fast-tracking investment in women’s cardiovascular health over the next three years. Join WHAM for this critical conversation. \nLearn More
