AMWA members practice in all medical specialties and settings.
As the national health care debate moves forward, AMWA is committed to ensuring that the needs of women patients are met under health care reform. Women have a great deal at stake as our nation prepares to overhaul its health care system. Nearly twelve million women have no health insurance of any kind. In addition, women have diverse health needs which have been historically neglected by our health care system. Vital preventive screening services, such as mammograms and Pap smears, are not covered by many private insurance companies.
