Join us and 300 other activists, mothers, daughters, sisters, caretakers, consumers, and community leaders for this national conference to learn and strategize how we can get quality, affordable healthcare for all. Together we will discuss and plan for health care reform that will meet the needs of women and families. This conference will launch a network of trained and outspoken women who are mobilized to work for a health care system that includes comprehensive reproductive health services, meets the needs of diverse women and our families, bridges the inexcusable gap in services and care that we face in the current system, provides quality health care that is affordable and accessible for women and our families across the lifespan.
To get the health care debate to reflect women’s issues and concerns, we must join the conversation!
