In partnership with ten leading organizations across the healthcare community, AWHP launched EveryBODY Covered, the first campaign aiming to activate women to advocate for insurance coverage of comprehensive obesity care.

AWHP has awarded its inaugural grant to the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) to analyze these recent trends in cervical cancer screening and detection from a diverse population of women who are currently underrepresented in the data used by the U.S. government to set guidelines for screening.

USPSTF is a critical driver of patient access to preventive health care. It needs a budget increase of $3M for FY2024, bringing its total budget from $11.5M to $14.5M.

Together with 22 national organizations, AWHP delivered an open letter to President Biden regarding the Braidwood Management v. Becerra ruling. The letter urges the Biden administration to consider all available options to thwart the devastating impacts of this ruling, which, if upheld, would put access to critical preventive services in jeopardy for millions of Americans.

USPSTF issued new draft guidelines expanding its recommendations for breast cancer screenings to encompass a broader age range, an update from the guidelines published in 2016.

A federal judge in Texas struck down a key provision in the Affordable Care Act that mandates insurers provide certain preventive services for free, including screenings for cancer and other chronic diseases as well as certain pregnancy care services.

AWHP named Millicent Gorham as its inaugural Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Gorham brings over three decades of leadership experience in healthcare and advocacy and has been with AWHP since the organization’s founding in 2022, serving as the Chair of the Board of Directors.

A new Ipsos poll commissioned by AWHP reveals that nearly half of American women are forgoing preventive care services like check-ups, screenings, and vaccines, and the inability to afford out-of-pocket costs is the most common reason women cite for skipping this critical care.

AWHP, a new non-profit, will focus on access to care and treatment, early detection and diagnosis, vaccine access and affordability, and social determinants of health.
