Organizations Filed Purposes:
Thousands of individual members support the NWHN's focus on three long-term goals: establishing health care that meets the needs of diverse women; protecting the health of all women by opposing the over medialization of women's normal experiences, such as
Member services - NWHN members receive newsletters, fact sheets, electronic updates, invitations to participate in advocacy campaigns to improve health policy and periodic mailings with information about important issues in women's health. Member advocacy campaigns have successfully influenced federal and state regulatory and funding decisions, including the recent decision by the federal government to require insurers to cover women's preventive services with no extra fees. Members also receive renewal notices through the mail.
Raising Women's Voices for the Health Care We Need - A national project working to make sure women's voices are heard in the health reform debate and women's concerns are addressed by policymakers developing national and state health reform plans. Raising Women's Voics is a collaborative project created by the National Women's Health Network, the Women's Health Program of Community Catalyst and the Black Women's Health Imperative.
Health Policy Activities: The NWHN influences policy by developing recommendations and catalyzing grassroots action. Our main issues are the safety of drugs, devices and medical procedures; reproductive health; and access to care that meets the needs of women in all their diversities. Recent accomplishments include 63 million women obtaining contraceptive coverage with no extra fees; saving the FDA Office of Women's Health from threatened defunding; and the drop in the number of women who develop heart attacks and breast cancer. In addition, the NWHN sponsors projects on issues in keeping with its mission. Sponsored project (expenses $534,881) provided on-line information to 25,000 people/month about the safety and accessibility of medication abortion and answered thousands of hotline callers' questions about miscarriage and abortion.
