The San Francisco Chronicle, KQED Forum and KCBS featured stories on the NIH public forum and scientific workshop on women’s health, one of four town hall meetings on the subject nationwide which UCSF hosted May 27 at Mission Bay. The Chronicle ran an article that morning that included comments from Nancy Milliken, MD, vice dean in the UCSF School of Medicine and director of the UCSF National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health.

Forum featured a discussion on the importance of prioritizing women’s health funding, with guest speakers Linda Giudice, MD, PhD, chair of the UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, and Vivian Pinn, MD, director of the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health. KCBS also aired an interview May 31 with Giudice.
