Progress in Women’s Health: 1985–2015
April
7, 2015, 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET
This
year marks the 30th anniversary of the landmark 1985 U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Report of the Public Health Service Task Force on Women’s
Health Issues. A deliberate focus on women’s health, which continues today, has
led to substantial advances in the field. This webinar features federal
government leaders in women’s health discussing both achievements from the past
and challenges for the future. The presenters will describe progress in women’s
reproductive health, understanding of sex differences in medicine, and the
inclusion of women in clinical research. The ultimate goal is a nation where
women can prevent morbidity and mortality from disease and where quality care
and health equity are a reality for all women.
