The mission of the Women’s Health Advocacy Club is to educate young generations on how to constantly seek out and demand the most personalized and effective forms of healthcare, especially tailored to women’s needs. During the fall, we are wanting to join forces with the breast cancer awareness club as our first target. The United States Preventative Services Task Force suggests women should screen for breast cancer every two years. This is not personalized nor effective because screening every two years cannot detect fast growing cancers and also leads to the over treatment of slow growing cancers. Why are we continuing to keep in a place a system of breast cancer screening that doesn’t accurately predict a majority of breast cancers? In addition to breast cancer, September is PCOS awareness. PCOS affects younger woman of childbearing age, burdening them with weight gain, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. PCOS is becoming becoming more prominent, but there is still more educating that needs to be done. Our next target of where woman’s health is lacking is cardiovascular screening trials. Since woman are underrepresented in cardiovascular trials there is a lack of specified treatment for women.
