Women's Health Today, Fall 2007 is now available. Full & free, pdf format. Women's Health Today: The Magazine of the foundation for female health awareness.

Letter from the founder: Keeping up … It’s a full-time job

As the Foundation for Female Health Awareness enters its fourth year in existence, we’re proud of our flagship program, the Women’s Health Experience. At a time when doctors are working harder than ever with increasing reimbursement cuts, it’s exceedingly difficult to have detailed discussions with your health care provider. Obtaining easily used, bottom-line health information is a combination of asking the right questions and translating the answers into practical information. At the Foundation for Female Health Awareness, it’s our passion to provide you with the most relevant and insightful information available. We’re proud to accomplish this mission through Women’s Health Today, numerous physician and consumer outreach programs and our live health events that are now in Cincinnati, Ohio; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Tacoma, Wash.

In this issue of Women’s Health Today, learn how Patricia Arquette takes charge of her family breast cancer history and how you can follow her example to protect your health (“A happy medium,” page 10). On page 14, you’ll find a new feature, “Ask Dr. Levy,” in which Barbara Levy, MD, medical director of the Women’s Health & Breast Center at St. Francis in Federal Way, Wash., answers your questions about sex. Then turn to page 20 to find out the facts about a controversial condition called PFO (“ ‘Hole’ hearted”).

I’d love to hear your feedback about our publication and the topics you’d like to read about. Feel free to contact me at www.womenshealthexperience.com.

Sincerely,

Mickey M. Karram, MD
