Chronic Conditions | NWHN

Our Track Record

The Network has a long history of raising awareness around several chronic conditions that disproportionately affect women (and are sometimes minimized or dismissed by their health care providers). We’ve run features on chronic pain conditions, endometriosis, long COVID, PCOS, and more.

What’s Next

The Network will be broadening our chronic conditions scope of influence by focusing on common cardiovascular diseases and their unique impacts on women, such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and HIV.
