Why We Should Focus on Women's Health Research

Did you know that men and women may have different symptoms when they have a heart attack and that could impact on the treatment we get?  Kathryn Schubert, CEO & President of The Society of Women’s Health Research joins us to talk about the importance of women’s health research. We discuss why inclusion in clinical trials is important and how biological sex, even at the cellular level gives us clues to disease, which can impact diagnosis and treatment.  We’ll also talk about how you can advocate for increased funding and investment on women’s health research to improve health for everyone.
