Our Summer Fellow, Miranda Lee recently attended a women’s health focused lunch in Pasadena to talk about the importance of screening. “Screening saves lives, plain and simple.” - Andrea Hans Screening is essential for saving lives by identifying health problems early, often before symptoms appear. Early detection allows for prompt and efficient treatment, improving outcomes and reducing complications. Regular screenings can detect diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and hypertension, enabling early intervention to prevent progression. By identifying risk factors and illnesses early, people can make informed health decisions, take preventive actions, and potentially live longer. Knowing our risk allows us to know our options. #KnowYourRisk #Health #Prevention

#MomsFirstSummit was a day that we will never forget. We're still feeling so energized from all the invaluable insights, motivation, and lessons that were shared both in person and online. We're so curious to hear about your key takeaways from the day, so we'll kick things off by sharing ours: 👭 Cherish your friendships because the communities we build are our strength 📖 The power of storytelling, of bravely and unapologetically sharing our truths, is a force to be reckoned with 🧾 We have to keep making the economic argument for affordable child care, paid family leave, and equal pay for all moms. To ensure that every mom across this country can thrive, we have to change the conversation about moms and why its vital to invest in them ✨ Relive all the highlights from the day at: momsfirstsummit.us
