Men can have erectile dysfunction medication delivered to their homes and insurance coverage for these meds, yet we are still fighting for access to basic hygiene products for all-low income and incarcerated women being the most disadvantaged. #MenstrualEquity
Yesterday the NYS legislature passed legislation supported by @ACOGD2 to establish a maternal mortality review board in the state— a goal of ACOG for many years! Thank you @JoinJoyner@NYSenatorRivera for your leadership! ACOG’s efforts to reduce maternal mortality continues.
Thank you to the NYS Senate, especially @NYSenatorRivera & @AndreaSCousins, for passage of S.1819 which would establish a statewide #maternalmortality review board. This is a critical step forward in examining complex issues impacting #maternalhealth & racial disparities.
Thank you to the NYS Assembly, especially @JoinJoyner & @CarlHeastie, for passage of A. 3276 which would establish a statewide #maternalmortality review board. This is a critical step forward in examining complex issues impacting #maternalhealth & racial disparities.
"We have heard how important it is to understand our biases so that we can address them. We also know how incredibly important it is, as providers, to actively listen to our patients."-@TXmommydoc discussed the MOMMA Act to combat maternal mortality. https://t.co/rvMRv3Jh4m

Great day on the Hill to wrap-up the #2019CLC! Thanks to everyone who joined us! We can’t wait to see how you’ll use the skills and insights you gained to continue advocating for women’s health. See you next year!
This is what #obgynadvocacy looks like! #2019CLC attendees were energized & encouraged to meet w/members of Congress to discuss ACOG's top legislative priorities: eliminating maternal mortality & ensuring women w/pre-existing health conditions have access to health coverage.
Thank you @RepPaulTonko for your support and standing with @ACOGD2 in our efforts to prevent maternal mortality and protecting women’s health! @acog#2019CLC#AccessIs @BLamparello
