Health Across the Lifespan

The Health Across the Lifespan spoke seeks to address health concerns of women and girls in all aspects from birth to death in the forum of four different lifespan areas: pediatrics, reproductive years, mid-life, and gerontology. Within each of these lifespan areas, mental health, physical health, social/emotional health, and environmental health will be explored. The connection between lifespan area and the four types of health will provide the framework for efforts in this spoke. For example, the social and emotional needs, challenges, opportunities, and concerns vary widely for a child, a young woman in the reproductive phase of her life, a woman in mid-life, and a woman in the last years of her life. Specific working groups will be formed around target areas around where improvements need to be made.
