The Alliance for Women’s Health & Prevention continues to engage with key stakeholders on preventive healthcare issues, including maternal health, lung health, and laboratory testing. Since our last update, we have participated in important conversations taking shape at the highest levels of government and beyond.

This summer, AWHP was busy at work fighting to ensure equitable access to affordable prescription medications for people with chronic illnesses, maintaining funding for women’s healthcare programs, encouraging access to early cancer detection, and improving the issue of Black maternal health.

In June, AWHP focused on obesity, HPV cancer prevention, and laboratory testing access, advocating for holistic obesity approaches, endorsing HPV vaccine initiatives, and stressing the need to protect clinical laboratory services for better preventive healthcare.
