Women’s health is so much more than “just” a women’s issue; it’s a complex set of issues with widespread impact on families and communities. Despite significant advancements in health care, however, women continue to face unique challenges and barriers that require attention and action.
 
Reproductive Health and Rights
At the heart of women’s health is the issue of reproductive health care. Access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including family planning services, is essential for women’s overall well-being. Yet, these services are frequently under threat and underfunded.
 
Whether it’s choosing a provider, ensuring access to contraception and preventative care, or ensuring the affordability of services, our County recognizes that the ability to access and provide family planning and reproductive health care is essential for the health and well-being of our residents.
