Live Webinar:
Abdominal pain, shortness of breath,
nausea, lightheadedness. In a woman, these are symptoms of heart
attack. While heart disease is the most common cause of death among men
and women in the United States, women tend not to suffer the more familiar
symptom of crushing chest pain experienced by men, and thus a life-altering
heart attack could be overlooked by a female patient or her healthcare
provider. This is but one example of disparities in health that, across
the life sciences and healthcare industries, can cumulatively impede women’s
access to quality and affordable healthcare and put women at risk of
misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment.
Health equity is achieved when patients are not disadvantaged from
attaining their full health potential by racial, gender, economic, or other
socially determined circumstances. Lawyers and the law play a crucial role
in supporting health equity for women. This CLE partners with in-house
counsel from across the health industry to discuss the ways in which corporate
practice, regulations, and litigation impact women’s health equity.
