According to a recent study from the Kaiser Family Foundation, this doesn't happen often enough. Women cite lack of time, cost, lack of childcare and no transportation as some of the main reasons they did not get health care.

To address these barriers, Harmony Health Plan, Inc., a subsidiary of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG), and 15 community, media and health care organizations are joining forces to provide women in Cook County with the tools they need to take care of themselves as well as their loved ones. Through events held directly in their communities, EmPowerHer, EmPowerMe, EmPowerUs, is designed to help inspire women to obtain preventive care for common health concerns and highlight the importance of getting key screenings, such as breast and cervical cancer exams.
