"I am proud and excited to support BWHI's critical mission to protect, advance, and celebrate the health and wellness of Black women and girls. This mission is especially critical in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade's overturn on the basis that the right to abortion is not found in America's 'history and traditions.' In the role of National Medical Director, I will have the opportunity to support BWHI's already effective and comprehensive programs with the latest medical science and innovation. Unfortunately, we live in a society where the perspectives, needs, and achievements of Black women are all too often ignored or undervalued, which contributes to some of the differential health outcomes we experience in areas like pre-term birth and maternal mortality; breast and cervical cancer survival; and treatment for heart and kidney disease, among others. BWHI is committed to addressing these outcomes using all available means -- education, policy, programs, research, advocacy, and influence -- to make sure our country recognizes all our rights -- those that may be found in America's 'history and traditions,' as well as those that were acknowledged through the efforts and sacrifices of generations before us. I am honored to be a part of continuing to do the work and making a difference for Black women across the nation," said Dr. Thompson.
