MPH NEWSLETTER VOL. 22
WE’RE HERE TO HELP WITH YOUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY / IMPROVEMENT PLAN!
Hi there,
Last week was International Women’s Day and it’s Women’s History Month - and here at Moxley Public Health, as a women owned and operated company, EVERY DAY is about women. So, we wanted to theme this newsletter around all things women’s health and put a spotlight on some of the health disparities that women face in our communities.

This month we announced our newest service - CHIP Implementation Support!

This service includes the facilitation of 1-2 quarterly progress meetings EACH quarter for 1 year by our qualified public health professionals. Ready to take your organization’s implementation to the next level?
Public Health Need Spotlight
There is no one accepted definition for “women’s health” and when we think of it here at MPH, we are really just thinking of any health needs that uniquely affect women.
The obvious aspects of women’s health include differences due to the female anatomy and reproductive system. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists provide a plethora of resources on their website to learn about these differences.
However, women’s health disparities are not ONLY due to anatomical differences.
Women also face the challenge of existing within a system that was designed by and for men. The cost of simply being a woman in our society, and certainly in our healthcare system, is high.
did you know?
Women have largely been excluded from clinical trials, resulting in health policies, programs, and services that don’t fully meet their unique needs.
Check out this article to learn more and see where we should be focusing efforts to better reflect women’s needs in our medical system.
Throughout history, doctors have considered women’s bodies atypical and men’s bodies the “norm,” despite women accounting for nearly half the global population and outnumbering men in the United States since 1946.
