Frank Christensen+FollowWomen’s Health Study on the Chopping Block?Did you know the Women’s Health Initiative is the biggest, longest-running study on women’s health in the US? It’s shaped everything from hormone therapy to bone health and even changed national guidelines. But now, its future is up in the air after a funding scare. With over 30 years of data from 160k+ women, losing this would be a massive blow to women’s health research. Fingers crossed it survives—this study is way too important to lose! #WomensHealth #MedicalResearch #HealthEquity #ScienceMatters #WHI #Health30Share
Jared Hardy+FollowWomen’s Health Study Almost Got Axed?!The Women’s Health Initiative—a massive study that’s changed how we treat everything from menopause to heart health—was almost shut down after HHS pulled its funding. Cue the outrage! Thankfully, after major backlash, the funding is back on (for now). Researchers say losing WHI would’ve been a huge blow to women’s health and aging research. Can you imagine decades of groundbreaking work just... gone? Crisis averted, but wow, that was close! #WomensHealth #MedicalResearch #WHI #HealthNews #ScienceMatters #Health20Share
