Morning Session | Combating Medical Myths and Misinformation: Board-Certified OBGYNs On What Every Woman Should Know About Her Health
Join us for a candid, wide-ranging conversation with two seasoned OBGYNs. The speakers will tackle misinformation and myths surrounding contraception, fertility, reproductive rights, peri/menopause, aging and will share how women can advocate for themselves to receive the best possible healthcare. All JHU alums and friends are welcome.
Afternoon Session | Know your Heart: Women’s Cardiac Health in Focus
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, yet it’s rarely the center of women’s health conversations. Join us for a dynamic panel discussion with expert medical professionals as we uncover the facts, debunk myths, and share empowering practical steps every woman can take to understand and improve her cardiovascular health. All JHU alums and friends are welcome.
