No Woman Left Behind: The Healthy Woman Program, Part 1

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the heart of women's healthcare with two extraordinary professionals on the frontlines of community health. Linda Weibrecht, Nurse Coordinator of the UPMC Healthy Woman Program, and Nancy Cupps, Director of Women's Services at Magee-Womens Hospital, share raw, emotional insights into a mission that goes far beyond medical screenings – it's about saving lives.

Through intimate personal stories and professional experiences, Linda and Nancy unveil the critical challenges faced by uninsured and underinsured women in our community. They reveal the profound barriers women encounter when seeking essential healthcare, and how the UPMC Healthy Woman Program has become a lifeline for countless women who might otherwise slip through the healthcare system's cracks.
