Woke up to the best news!!! As an adolescent gynecologist, I can’t express how happy I am that my patients will now have access to safe & effective contraceptive pills OTC!! This is a huge win for reproductive health and access!!! @washingtonpost

"One of the biggest barriers is the confusion surrounding both protection and preservation," says
@ThePeriodDoctor, "I like to lay out the facts. 44% have their first period and don't know what's going on."

"We should be brave enough to have these conversations early. To parents — you are charged with guiding your children in life," notes the @ThePeriodDoctor, "We must include our boys. We must include everyone in this conversation."

.@ThePeriodDoctor raises a great point:

"We fail when we just identify the little girls [for education]. The issue is we're missing some non binary folk, we're missing some trans folk in that conversation, and they are very much capable of menstruating." #PledgeYourPeriod

@Meghatron5 Another one courtesy of @ThePeriodDoctor: "If we could just take away the hyper-sexualization of a woman's period. Adults don't go through puberty - children do."

This is why parents have a responsibility to ensure their children, of all genders, have the necessary information.

As it relates to social determinants of health, the top 3 social needs are housing, transportation, and food. One initiative that @Highmark health is leading is a medically tailored meals program for those in need.
