As both a marketing professional and self-described grammar vigilante, I often think of this.

[Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation @MageeWomens]

Grammar and punctuation buffs: ever wonder why the Magee-Womens brand is missing an apostrophe in "women's"? This #NationalTriviaDay, we’re here to answer!

In 1962, when Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital merged with Women's Hospital, the apostrophe got lost in transition. Whether it was a cost-saving decision or an effort to simplify the name, this simple typo has become a unique part of the history and legacy of Magee-Womens. #TheMoreYouKnow

"I'm doing everything I can to support cancer research that could save my children's lives or the lives of someone they love," says Nikki Orolin.

After witnessing her mom’s strength through two breast cancer diagnoses, Nikki is running the @PGHMarathon to support research for a better future, not only for her mom but also for her children, hoping they will never face the same diagnosis.

When Malia Hinton ran the 2024 @PGHMarathon, it was to honor Kiersten Crosby, her "second mom," who inspired her with incredible strength during her battle with breast cancer.

After Kiersten’s passing, Malia joined the Magee-Womens Run for a Reason team, raising $2,000 for the hospital that cared for Kiersten. Now, she’s returning for 2025, running to support life-changing women’s health research.

You might have heard the term 'clinical trial' before. But what does that really mean?

Listen to Magee-Womens investigator and clinical oncologist Dr. Sarah Taylor as she discusses how researchers use clinical trials in oncology to develop better treatments for cancer patients.

A recent study published in @AJOG_thegray and led by @LaraLemon3 and @hysimhan of Magee-Womens Research Institute and colleagues found that #doula care was associated with more vaginal #births after cesarean delivery, improved attendance of postpartum office visits, improved breastfeeding rates, and fewer preterm deliveries. The effect of doula care was consistent across race and insurance status.

"Anger isn't an emotion." ➡️ one of the patriarchy's sneaky rebrands. Because if you admit that men have *feelings* then... well, you know the story.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

One more time: Women aren't too emotional to lead.

Data: When men are anxious and stressed, they're more likely to be rude, hostile, and abusive. Women show respect regardless of their feelings.

The test of emotional intelligence is not how you feel. It's how you respond.

“I am proud to be part of a trial that can help uteruses everywhere,” says Karri Rickard. “I want to be part of the story where they say, ‘We have found the breakthrough.’ I want my story to be impacting more than just me. I want the treatment to impact others.”

A survivor of multiple recurrences of endometrial cancer and an ongoing clinical trial participant, Karri has shared her #cancerjourney openly on social media. She makes it a point to tell someone every day about her experience and the importance of clinical trials.

By supporting research and patient care at Magee-Womens, you can also be a part of the next breakthrough. The generosity of our community fuels research and patient care in women’s health — including clinical trials.

Donate today, and help change outcomes more for women like Karri: https://t.co/MiHXj9sB9d

I find #'s 3 and 5 particuarly egregious.

[Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation @MageeWomens]

The numbers say it all: #womenshealth has been underresearched and underfunded for too long. At Magee-Womens, we're on a mission to change that. Join us in changing the way the world treats women: https://t.co/qTNcKnZM3y

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

Meet Hilary Flint — a young woman who endured a decade of severe pain and unanswered questions before being diagnosed with endometriosis.

Her journey led her to UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, where she finally found relief through specialized care tailored to her needs. Thanks to the expertise of her care team, Hilary reclaimed her health and well-being. This Giving Tuesday, you can help create life-changing outcomes for patients like Hilary.

This Giving Tuesday, you can help create life-changing outcomes for patients like Hilary by donating once or setting up a monthly gift. But, when you donate $150 or more in December to Magee-Womens, we’ll send you the official @WomenWhoRockHQ™ lightning bolt necklace in silver by the Renee Piatt Collection.
