Editor’s Note: Primary healthcare plays a vital role in women’s health, but the primary care system in the U.S. often fails to meet the full range of women’s healthcare needs. During a live Twitter chat on August 31, Manatt’s Lisa Suennen and Pavitra Viswanathan, The Commonwealth Fund’s Dr. Laurie Zephyrin, National Birth Equity Collaborative’s Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, and Cityblock Health’s Dr. Toyin Ajayi discussed takeaways from our recent two-part report on a framework for transforming primary care for women and the crucial role healthcare stakeholders have in achieving these much-needed reforms.
