About
A Revolutionary Approach to Women's Health
What if your stories about health could help heal someone else? What if their stories could help heal you? WeKNOW acknowledges that every woman has a story to share that others can learn from. Come share, come learn!

Why WeKNOW?
Our stories are POWERFUL! These stories not only contain valuable lessons; they make us experts on our bodies, how they work, what works and doesn’t work for us. Yet, healthcare research shows a consistent theme of disempowerment of our stories and WHAT WE KNOW, dismissal of our pain and symptoms, insensitive approaches, unnecessary suffering, excessive and even forced procedures.
We KNOW this impacts all women - in some cases fatally; we also KNOW that there is even more impact on and risk for women of color, transgender, lesbian and low income women.
THIS MUST CHANGE!
Help us achieve the WeKNOW vision of transforming women's health outcomes by:
- sending us your story
- joining the monthly calls
- joining as a member (or giving the gift of membership)
- spreading the word about WeKNOW!!!
When we share our stories,
we change our outcomes!
