How to Save the Lives of Post-Menopausal Women: One Women's Crusade of Empowerment - With Vanessa Hill

In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Vanessa Hill, founder of Project Nana, a nonprofit organization promoting post-menopausal women’s health. Inspired by her grandmother’s battle with cancer, Vanessa has become a passionate advocate for women’s health education, with a particular focus on gynecologic cancers, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and shared decision-making in healthcare.

• Ageism in Healthcare: Project Nana challenges ageism in healthcare, advocating for improved access to health services, especially for women on Medicare.
• Training Healthcare Providers: Project Nana is training healthcare providers to normalize discussions around women’s health, ensuring better care for post-menopausal women.
