SUMMARY:Empowering Maternal Health through Collaborative Care
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio was 33.2 per 100\,000 live births in 2021\, noting that more than 80% were preventable. 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. Black women are three to four times more likely to die a pregnancy-related death than white women. \nMaternal health issues also include maternal morbidity\, birth risks\, and infant outcomes. Black\, American Indian\, Alaska Native\, 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. \nThe health care ecosystem must leverage opportunities to identify\, expand\, and promote solutions to this public health crisis. Having a diverse care team that supports a woman’s values\, preferences\, health needs\, and goals while mitigating risks is key to improving health outcomes for pregnant populations. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) hosted a public forum to highlight how different maternal health care professionals can be involved in pre-pregnancy\, perinatal\, and postpartum care\, underscoring opportunities to improve patient empowerment\, shared decision-making\, and access to care that elevates patient engagement and reduces adverse outcomes.

SUMMARY:Understanding Osteoporosis as a Chronic Condition
DESCRIPTION:Osteoporosis is often misunderstood as a normal part of aging\, but it is actually a chronic disease that weakens bones over time and increases the risk of fractures. In this informative and empowering webinar\, participants will learn how bones change with age\, what causes bone loss to accelerate\, and why osteoporosis requires long-term attention and care. \nAlthough there is no cure for osteoporosis\, it can be managed effectively with the right care plan. This session will explain the basics of how bones grow and break down\, identify medical conditions and medications that may negatively impact bone health\, and outline steps that individuals can take to protect their bones at every stage of life. \nAttendees will be encouraged to create a personal bone health plan that includes healthy habits\, lifestyle changes\, and important questions to ask their healthcare provider.

SUMMARY:Vaginal Microbiome: Implications for Women's Health (Women's Health Research Roundtable)
DESCRIPTION:The Women’s Health Research Roundtable is a webinar series hosted by the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH). This series elevates evidence-based research that explores how social\, economic\, racial\, and geographic factors influence health outcomes.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Biological and Health Care Complexities of Obesity in Women
DESCRIPTION:The complexities of metabolic health affect women differently than men throughout their lifespan\, especially during major hormonal transitions like puberty\, pregnancy\, and menopause. With one in three adults being overweight and more than two in five having obesity\, women have almost a two-fold higher prevalence of severe obesity compared to men. Women face unique challenges in managing obesity due to biology\, societal stigma\, and certain risk factors and comorbidities that can have significant impacts on their health care outcomes. Inflammation\, for example\, is an underlying factor associated with obesity that can exacerbate comorbidities and complicate treatment strategies. As obesity rates continue to rise in the United States\, it is critical to elucidate how obesity care can reduce disparities and chronic conditions for women\, as well as address persistent barriers to prevention and health care. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) convened an interdisciplinary Obesity Working Group of researchers\, health care providers\, patient advocates\, and policy professionals for a closed\, roundtable meeting and congressional briefing in July 2025. During this closed roundtable event\, the Working Group discussed the intersection of obesity and women’s health\, with an emphasis on improving understanding about comorbidities\, interventions\, and outcomes for women living with obesity.
