THE WHEN COALITION
Launched in 2014, the Women’s Health Empowerment Network (WHEN) Coalition is APOPS’ vision to eradicate stigma in women’s below-the-waist health, and to unify patient advocacy, healthcare, academia, research, industry, wellness, and policy to stimulate female health awareness and drive impactful outcomes.
The Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support (APOPS) is committed to dismantling silos in healthcare to explore and expand meaningful, real-world solutions to insufficient women’s pelvic and intimate health awareness and vagina stigma. Tackling shortfalls in the female below-the-waist health space is not optional, it is essential. Women experiencing closeted pelvic organ prolapse inclusive urinary, defecatory, digestive, reproductive, vaginal, or vulval conditions are hungry for hope as well as practical and effective solutions to resolve frustrating, stigmatizing symptom and treatment navigation.
