Today and everyday we advocate for women's voices to be heard + believed by healthcare professionals. As we continue to work toward a future where health equity is achieved here are some tips for women to speak up during their health visits #InternationalWomensDay #patientvoice

The #CDSiC patient panel with @TiffanyAndLupus @deborahcollyar Angela Dobes & @KisteinM noted areas for future focus: ⭐Address power dynamics ⭐Centralize relationships ⭐Prioritize underserved groups ⭐Ensure use of plain language ⭐Think of patients as "we" instead of "they"

🚨 New Video Alert! 🚨 Check out our latest video, "Dismissed: Women's Health Concerns Neglected by Medical Professionals," where we tackle the issue of gender bias in healthcare. Join the conversation! #GenderBias #HealthEquity #WomensHistoryMonth 🎥 youtu.be/GSsLyE7tcnU

@ePatientDave Powerful capture of shifting the narrative between the patient-doctor relationship for better human understanding👏 #HUB23

What screams out to me (as an observer, not speaker this time) is that changing the patient-provider relationship is not just about the doctor side - a patient like Kistein (or me) (or you) needs to know THAT they can say "Wait a minute" and HOW to say it. #HUB23

@DrDannySands and I have role-played my visits w/ a before-&-after "Let's try that again." Today he's doing it w @PatientOrator Kistein Monkhouse re equitable care, & it's HARD to see him being kind of a jerk... until she speaks up & schools him, then says "Let's try that again."

@amirahealthcare @loewenkc @51Labs @MATTERhealth @Pamelakayyork @Capita3vc @jenn_fried @RenalisHealth @TapwithLibbie @AnneFulenwider We love to see it 👏

What an honor to speak about our progress towards reinventing menopause with the 400+ in attendance at Matter Health’s Menopause Accelerator alongside these women. Thanks to them, menopause is finally starting to receive serious attention, ushering in a new wave of innovation.

“I was under-treated, over-treated and mistreated. After 3 years of seeing 43 doctors, finally a doctor reviewed all of my medical records and sent me for the appropriate testing..” @BarbyIngle #WomensDay2023 #PatientCare #PatientVoice #HealthEquity #WomensHealth

Did you know that not all patients are listened to equally by healthcare providers? ➡️People of color ➡️Lower socioeconomic communities #Disparities in #healthcare communication #BlackHistoryMonth patientorator.com/video-blog/202… listened-to-and-what-patients-can-do-to-speak-up/

A patient with obesity recently told me that “even though I may not look like it, I enjoy eating veggies.” My heart broke. 💔 This person has been stigmatized their entire life to be made to feel that couldn’t possibly enjoy eating veggies based on how they looked…😢😢😢

@MightyCasey @S4PM So much to unpack from this morning’s discussion! Thank you for joining 🙌 #healthequity

Listening to Kisten Monkhouse on NPR's 1a - hearing another @S4PM on national NPR show talking access and equity in healthcare! Kisten = Founder/CEO of @PatientOrator

@imleeanna @1a @KisteinM @DamonCentola Unfortunately bias in healthcare is still at play... Patient advocacy is key.

@1a @KisteinM @DamonCentola A couple of months ago, WAMU (possibly this prrogram) had a couple of female doctors talking about women's experiences in menstruation and I was totally blown away when one of the doctors said that "pain is not normal." We women have become convnced that pain is part & parcel-

@1a @KisteinM @DamonCentola I am a bigger woman and doctors often blame my weight for any ailment. They make me feel like my concerns do not matter and are not heard.

@1a @KisteinM @DamonCentola Serena Williams' experience post childbirth is an excellent example of this. Not just that her pain was dismissed but that they also didn't seem to be aware that black women are more likely to "throw a clot" (I think that's what it was).

Check out our founder @KisteinM who was featured on NPR/1A today speaking on solutions to address medical bias 👇
