🌟 Last night was truly incredible! 🙌 The Michigan Women's Commission , led by the amazing Cheryl Bergman, hosted an empowering event at the request of Governor Gretchen Whitmer to address perimenopause and menopause and to create better care and support for women in Michigan.

🚀 We gathered with 250 wonderful women from our community, all eager to advocate, listen, and learn from local passionate experts. The energy was electric as we collaborated, laughed, and supported one another.

💪Rep Hillary Scholtenored to have kickoff the event, with moderation by the trailblazing Senator Winnie Brinks , the first female Senate Majority Leader in Michigan's history. And a heartfelt thank you to Representaive Carol Glanville and Nancy DeBoer - State Representative for their unwavering support of women!

💖 Menopause and perimenopause are not rare diseases; they are natural phases of our lives that every woman experiences if fortunate to live long enough. It’s not complicated, it’s just not the gold standard…yet. Let’s continue to push for the gold standard of care that Michigan women deserve! Together, we can make a difference.

🌟 Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring History, Advocating for Health Equity 🌟

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved Black people in the United States were finally informed of their freedom, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This historic date, known as Juneteenth, signifies the end of slavery and the beginning of a long fight for equality and justice.

We recognize that the legacy of systemic oppression continues to impact the health and well-being of Black individuals today. Disparities in healthcare access and treatment often reflect historical injustices that still resonate in our society.

Health equity is not just a goal; it is a necessity. We are committed to ensuring that every person, particularly those from marginalized communities, has access to quality healthcare without discrimination.

💜 Join Us in Action:
1. Educate yourself and others about the importance of Juneteenth and its implications for today’s society.
2. Advocate for equitable healthcare policies that prioritize the needs of all, particularly in underserved communities.
3. Support local Black-owned organizations.
4. Seek out opportunities to hear from and learn from Black voices about their experiences and perspectives on Juneteenth.

As we commemorate this important day, we reaffirm our commitment to be allies in the ongoing pursuit of health equity. Together, let’s honor the significance of Juneteenth by working toward a future where everyone receives the compassionate care they deserve.

✨ Let’s transform our collective history into actionable change for a healthier, more equitable tomorrow.
