Episode 15 - Women’s Health

While the number of women who have joined the military has risen dramatically in the recent years, they still represent only a fraction of the total Veteran population.  However, just because our female Veterans are a small part of the total patients we serve it doesn't mean they only get a fraction of the resources they deserve.

On this episode of The 9 Line, we speak with Jenny Childers, the VISN 21 Special Populations Program Manager, and Alexandra Allen, our Women's Health Medical Director about some of the issues around Women's Health for Veterans, how COVID-19 has impacted delivering health care to women, and the growing focus on Women's Health within the VA.
