Tackling public health challenges

Behavioral health conditions are frequently co-morbid with physical conditions, and both should be addressed to improve health and well-being and reduce costs to the health care system.

From medical services and products to policy changes and strategic partnerships, we support women's mental and physical well-being. Our goal is to provide more transparent, equitable and accessible health care. We advocate for price equity for period products by working toward the repeal of the sales tax on period products nationwide. We believe these products should be recognized for what they are, essential and necessary, and therefore exempt from sales tax. That’s why we currently pay the sales tax on period products in 12 states where the law permits it and where the products are still taxed as luxury or non-essential items.

We believe that everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That’s why we are committed to advancing health equity for our colleagues, consumers and members by improving trust, access and quality of health for historically marginalized communities. Our work includes increasing access to affordable health care, incentivizing culturally responsive health care delivery and addressing the social barriers to health care.
