2007 Women's Health Policy Summit

The 2007 Women’s Health Policy Summit, Building Multicultural Women’s Health: Setting an Agenda for Los Angeles, was held on May 24, 2007 at the Hotel Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown.  Over 400 advocates, funders, providers and policymakers came together for a dialogue around some of today’s most pressing women’s health issues and participated in workgroups to develop priority, short term recommendations to reduce disparities and improve women’s health in Los Angeles County in the next few years. 

The day’s agenda included a morning panel of women’s health experts, ten stimulating workgroups on women’s health issues, a keynote address from Dr. Vivian Pinn, Director of the Office of Research on Women’s Health at the National Institutes of Health, and a Listening Panel of funders, policymakers and other key decision makers who heard and commented on the priority recommendations developed by each workgroup.  These recommendations have been published in the Summit Executive Report and Recommendations will be implemented over the next few years.
