AWHP’s Board of Directors recently completed a strategic planning process to guide our next chapter and define our vision for 2030. The plan builds on the foundation we have established with our members and partners and sets a path for deepening our impact, with women’s and girls’ access to preventive care at the heart of our work.
By 2030, AWHP will be one of the most trusted and credible voices for women’s preventive health, known by the policymakers who shape access to care, the advocates who work alongside us, the partners who support our mission, and the women and girls whose lives we are working to improve.
Vision: We envision a health system where preventive care is equitable, accessible, and affordable for all. Together with our members and partners, we will work toward a future where more women have the knowledge, confidence, and access they need to protect their health at every stage of life.
Our Role:
| Advance policy | Educate and engage women | Build lasting partnerships |
| Put women’s preventive health at the center of decisions in Washington. | Help women understand screenings, vaccines, and other preventive services. | Extend our reach and support this work for years to come. |
Our impact: We will meet women where they are, equipping them with useful information and the confidence to seek preventive care. We will bring a focused, credible voice to policy discussions and pursue changes that improve access for women and girls. Prevention will remain at the center of everything we do.
How We’ll Deliver on Our Vision:
Organization: Building a Broader Platform for Greater Impact
AWHP plans to launch the Alliance for Women’s Health and Prevention Foundation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to education, awareness, and engagement with women and girls. The foundation will complement AWHP’s existing 501(c)(4) policy and advocacy work, creating a broader platform to connect policy progress with the information and resources women need to benefit from it.
Policy and Advocacy: Leading on The Issues That Matter
Leading on the issues that matter most to women’s preventive health AWHP has been a policy organization since day one, and that focus sets us apart. We built our foundation on four pillars: the social and environmental factors that shape women’s health, access to care and treatment, detection and diagnosis, and vaccine access and affordability. In 2026, we released our first formal policy agenda. Today, more than 100,000 advocates stand with us. Our next chapter builds on that foundation with deeper leadership and direct policymaker engagement. We will:
- Lead on key issues impacting women’s preventive health.
- Leverage learnings from EveryBODY Covered to develop campaigns that engage advocates.
- Maintain a strong coalition presence across all four policy pillars.
- Our goal: Policy wins we can name, every year.
Programs: Helping Women Benefit from Prevention
AWHP has built programs in obesity, osteoporosis, cervical cancer screening, and immunizations. That important work will continue, and we’ll look for opportunities to deepen our engagement through advocacy, awareness building, and education.
Across all of our programs there are several key components: convening the right voices, working collaboratively with partners, and keeping women’s needs at the center.
We will bring that approach to the areas where women need a stronger voice next, including cancer prevention and early detection, brain health, cardiovascular health and menopause. With partners who share our commitment, we can turn those priorities into programs that advance policy and help women get the care they need.
Expanding our Visibility: Within our Community and Beyond
In just a few years, AWHP has become a visible and engaged voice in women’s preventive health, with a growing presence in policy discussions, coalitions, and events where decisions about access to care take shape. We will build on that foundation by elevating our expertise and strengthening connections with policymakers, advocates, health care stakeholders, and women themselves, keeping prevention at the center of the conversation.
