ABOUT WHM

Women make 80% of the healthcare decisions in the U.S.

Knowledge is the key to taking control of your own health, helping improve the health of your family and driving better health in your community. Women are commonly the healthcare decision-makers for their families, so it’s essential for women to understand how the healthcare system works, how to advocate for themselves and their loved ones, and how to get the care they need — and deserve.
