Recently, we have made some important realizations. We have watched protests for racial justice and equality across the nation. We have felt the need to look critically inward as well as to make changes to our business.
These past several years we have been working to advance healthcare for women by addressing gender bias at the doctor’s office. However, we have not done enough to address racial disparities and institutional racism in the healthcare system.
When we say women deserve better healthcare—this must mean ALL women. If we do not take action now, our mission is incomplete.
We have begun work on a plan of action. In the short term, it looks like this:
We will listen, learn and act with intention.
This is not a perfect plan, but it is the beginning.
There are many other ways we can show our support, listen and learn more. We’ve found this list of resources very helpful.
Finishing out the morning discussing the intersection of education & advocacy/connection between sexual health & neuroscience with @drstaceydutton + @LisaLarkinMD’s journey in sexual medicine & @MsMedicine 🤓
Your body is worthy exactly as it is. YOU are worthy exactly as you are.
Stretch out your arms, fill your lungs fully, smile, and thank the body that allows you to move, dance, sing, breathe, and LIVE. Your body, your #bff.
