Rights Talks

I’ve had a busy week this week. I gave a talk at Netflix where we discussed the racial and geneder disparities that exist in healthcare. I updated their management team on current womens health concerns, access to care and the recent legislative changes we’ve all been struggling with. I participated in a podcast (here) with the Canadian institute of workplace harrassment and violence discussing workplace harrassment in health care and my own personal struggles with it. Last but not least I participated a webcast (here) on the Healthcare Implications of Gender Bias in the US Medical Education System, which are quite significant and ongoing. Take a look!

Aftershocks Webinar

In the wake of the SCOTUS decision regarding Roe v Wade, there is tremendous concern about reproductive health rights. What might not be so evident is the potential impact on wider-ranging rights, the overall health of women, privacy, and even business and investment.  Join us and a panel of experts as they discuss the unpredicted consequences of this momentous decision.

This webinar highlighted four areas of such consequences and the implications for:

Individual Rights     |     Health     |     Privacy     |     Benefits, Business, and Investment

Panelists addressed the key issues in each of these four areas as well as provide resources and ways you can take action.
