One-size-fits-all healthcare models have failed women in America completely

In this episode, I spoke with Beth Battaglino, President and CEO of HealthyWomen.org, a pioneering national women's health resource center. Beth shared her fascinating journey from program assistant at Columbia Hospital for Women to becoming a nurse and leading one of the first comprehensive women's health websites. We discussed the evolution of women's health information access, from mailing physical information packets to launching digital resources that reach millions.Beth emphasized HealthyWomen's commitment to providing medically vetted, accessible health information for women aged 35-64. We explored current focus areas including obesity treatment access, mental health support, and maternal care improvements. Beth highlighted the importance of partnerships in expanding reach and the power of real women's voices in health education.Timestamps:(0:00) - Intro(03:45) - Journey into Women's Health(12:20) - Evolution of Health Information Access(18:30) - Importance of Medically Vetted Information(25:15) - Maternal Healthcare and Support(32:40) - Current Women's Health Priorities(42:10) - Power of Partnerships(48:25) - Future Focus on Aging Smart and WellHost Bio:This podcast is hosted by Sheree DiBiase, a women's health physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, oncology care, and prenatal/postpartum health.
