Hear Me
1 in 2 women’s health concerns go unheard. Pain ignored. Concerns disregarded. Symptoms dismissed. This leads to years of no-diagnosis, misdiagnosis, or an unexpected diagnosis that could have been avoided altogether. But if we would just listen, truly hear women when it comes to their own bodies and health, we can end gender bias in the heath care industry.
