Voices of GHI: Women’s Health Month

In this GHI Social Video Series, we share thoughts and perspectives from members of GHI’s board of visitors, advisory committee, staff, students, partners, and collaborators on relevant health issues. This health topic is honoring Women’s Health Month. We asked participating members one of three questions in May 2025. Each video will be shared as they are posted on our social media channels: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

  • What advice can you offer to young women, students, about what it means to put your health as a priority?
  • What do you think is the most important health issue women of Wisconsin are facing? And women of the world?
  • What can we all do better to help women be healthier?
