Women’s Health
Women’s Health • Minding the Gender Gap In Medical Research, Diagnosis, and Care Hospitals, Programs, and Service Lines
Women have unique health related issues, including pregnancy, menopause and other conditions that differ for females. They also suffer the consequences of violence against women: rape, physical and psychological attacks, and cultural marginalization.
Women and men are not equals when it comes to inclusion in medical research, from basic cell models to human clinical trials. Women have often not been included in numbers necessary to show how they differ from men in order to optimize the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as other diseases.
From lack of empathetic communication between patient and doctors, lack of broader diagnostic or treatment considerations, difficulty of access, and stereotypical assumptions; women have suffered the negative consequences of the hampered process and their impact has affected the rest of the social networks that surround them.
Professionals in the Health Sciences are starting to realize the lapse and attempting to address the gaps to provide a more appropriate delivery of care and healing.
“Let’s do a better job upfront, so people are healthier and happier, they’re more productive, and [everyone involved is] saving money.”
Katy Spangler, Senior Vice President of the American Benefits Council

Jessop Precision Products, Inc. – A Suremark Company
For the past 20 years, Suremark® has been designing and producing the highest quality precision skin-marking systems for the caregiving community. As the first company to develop and offer a complete line of environmentally-safe, non-metallic marking systems to the medical industry, our latex-free labels feature advanced adhesives and precise marker-placements that guarantee Suremark® products to be the best-performing markers available. Many of our mammography products feature our iconic Suremark® butterfly. The butterfly is one of the most emblematic symbols of personal transformation. In many traditions throughout the world, it represents renewal, rebirth, health and healing. Secondary meanings include lightness of being, playfulness, joy, and tuning into the emotional or spiritual. For Suremark®, the butterfly represents caring and understanding; that patients and their caregivers find themselves in difficult situations, and a kind word with a beautiful butterfly can go a long way. In the breast cancer field particularly, we have seen what many health-care professionals are calling the “Suremark® Butterfly Effect” by providing a few moments of levity from the stress of medical procedures. At Suremark®, we are grateful to offer our precision skin-marking products to technologists, doctors, and their patients who are in need of healing and positive energy.
