Improving access to women’s preventive healthcare to improve maternal and child health
We are the Texas Women’s Healthcare Coalition.
TWHC is a coalition of organizations promoting access to preventive healthcare for all Texas women.
We are working toward the vision of a state where every woman has access to the preventive and preconception care that will help her stay healthy and prepare for healthy, planned pregnancies.
Our principles.
2
A belief that education, counseling, and provision of the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive methods are essential components of women’s preventive healthcare
3
Encouraging the adoption of program policies for ample women’s preventive program funding
4
To empower women to take personal responsibility for their health and their future
5
Preventive care includes health history; contraceptive care; appropriate screenings, access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC); and preconception care
6
Advocating for the elimination of barriers, including systemic or
historic inequities in care, to preventive healthcare services – including prescription contraceptive drugs and devices
We make an impact.
