In 2020, the Commonwealth Fund reported that the primary health care system is particularly well positioned to play a vital and unique role in addressing women’s diverse physical health, behavioral health, and social needs across the lifespan. However, major care gaps and structural barriers inhibit the primary health care system in its current form from meeting women’s needs. Women’s health goes beyond the annual screenings and needs to address the conditions that are often overlooked. This workshop will delve deeper into common and not so common vaginal irritations and pelvic pain that often interfere with daily life. Join us to hear Jessica Pettigrew MSN, CNM in this interactive workshop to discuss how "Not All That Itches Is Yeast" and "Stop Silent Suffering- Let's Help Our Patients with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.
