The National Women’s Health Network (The Network) was founded in 1975 – almost half a century ago. We understand that to remain true to our progressive and feminist roots, we must continually evaluate and update what we do and how we do it as the world changes around us.
To this end, the board and staff came together this year for strategic planning and refreshed our policy priorities to be more inclusive, impactful, and responsive to the nation’s health policy needs.
These priorities, or pillars, are informed by the science and the lived experiences of health care consumers (that’s you). Read on to learn more about our 12 Policy Pillars and the signature issue areas we’ll be focusing on in the coming months.
