Women In Government Actions
Millions of Americans are affected by osteoporosis, and women are four times more likely then men to develop the disease. From 1994 to 1997, Women In Government undertook an ambitious series of roundtables, which focused on health reform and under-recognized diseases in women. As a result, 44 bills in 19 states were introduced and 8 states passed this legislation, which included the establishment of the “Mibones” program in Michigan. Women In Government also addressed the issue of Osteoporosis at our 12th Annual Midwestern Regional Conference in July 2005.
