Next week our CEO Mark Edwards will be on a panel at HLTH 2024 to talk about expanding access to contraceptive care. He'll be on the Rocket Stage at 1:30 pm! #HLTHUS
I’m excited to hit the stage at HLTH 2024 next week in Las Vegas to talk about the many opportunities for healthcare leaders from diverse fields to step up and help expand access to contraceptive care! Now more than ever, this requires a response from the larger healthcare system - beyond family planning and women’s health clinics and OB-GYNs - to transform the delivery of their contraceptive care so that patients have access to the contraceptive service of their choice, where and when it is most convenient for them to receive it. If you’ll be at the conference, the panel will take place on the Rocket Stage moderated by Natalie Davis and United States of Care. I would love to see you there. #HLTHUS #Health24

Many Indigenous communities face large disparities in accessing essential health services, including contraceptive care. On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we reflect on the contributions of Indigenous communities while continuing our vital work in ensuring patient-centered contraceptive care is basic healthcare. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, with gratitude to Helen Goodteacher, who created this illustration. 💜 #IndigenousPeoplesDay #ContraceptiveCare #basichealthcare

Morra Aarons-Mele, thank you for sharing your "why" with us this World Contraception Day. Contraception isn't something that's reserved for any particular age. There are so many reasons, seasons, and stages where a person may need contraceptive access. #WCD24

Today is World Contraception Day! Contraceptive care is basic healthcare- and it’s way too hard for too many people to access. Today is a day to acknowledge the many people working to expand access to high quality, patient-centered contraceptive care! I can’t even imagine what my life would have been like without access to birth control. Can you? #wywcontraception #worldcontraceptionday #wcd #worldcontraceptionday2024 #healthcare #patientcenteredcare

We asked attendees at #AAFPFMX what's your "why" for believing contraceptive care is important and left totally inspired by their responses. See what this physician had to say about the role contraception plays in her patient's lives! #WYWContraception

On this World Contraception Day, we're thrilled to see the work Maryland is doing to bring contraceptive care front and center by ensuring there’s a Title X clinic in every county. This is a great way to ensure everyone gets the contraceptive care they deserve. We're looking forward to continuing our partnership with Governor Wes Moore and the Maryland Department of Health to ensure contraceptive care is basic healthcare in Maryland. #WorldContraceptionDay #WCD24

Why do you believe contraceptive care is basic healthcare? At Upstream, we believe all contraceptive care should be patient-centered and easy to find. But each of us brings our own reasons – some deeply personal – to this work. We call this our “why.” Today, on World Contraception Day, we’re sharing real stories from Upstreamers who feel passionately that contraceptive care is a vital piece of every patient’s healthcare. And we hope you’ll join us in sharing your own stories. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, patient, advocate, or a believer in this mission, your “why” matters. This World Contraception Day, let’s celebrate contraceptive care for what it is: basic healthcare. Here’s how you can participate: [1] Share your Why in a comment below. [2] Share this post, and ask your colleagues on LinkedIn to participate. [3] Pause and reflect: Why do you think healthcare organizations should offer and be trained in contraceptive care? What’s your personal reason for believing in this mission? As always, you can learn more about Upstream’s impact at https://hubs.ly/Q02Rb0Xq0. #wywcontraception #worldcontraceptionday #wcd #worldcontraceptionday2024 #healthcare #patientcenteredcare
