With our resources and OWN&#8217;s reach and resonance, we are steadfast in our commitment to serve Black women everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;COVID-19, societal pressures and the ongoing racial justice movement have highlighted that stark disparities continue to exist regarding affordable and accessible healthcare, systemic racism, and racial discrimination in healthcare, especially for Black women.&#8221; said Jennifer Giddens, head of marketing at OWN. &#8220;We are proud to announce this important partnership that supports awareness and action to Black women to own their whole health &#8211; physical, mental and emotional as it has never been more critical to use OWN&#8217;s wide-reaching platform to meet our audience where she is with support, tools and resources to prioritize her health and wellness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Epidemic Within The Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic raised broad awareness of how Black women &#8211; and Black communities &#8212; have been disproportionately impacted by the virus. This is also the case for other health conditions. In many health areas, Black women experience lower preventive screening rates and follow-up care than other ethnic groups and, accordingly, may be diagnosed with illness at a later stage.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Black health disparities often exist as a result of unique stressors such as systemic racism within and outside of the United States healthcare system, racial segregation of neighborhoods, racism-related chronic psychosocial stress, and medical mistrust.\u00a0 The OWN YOUR HEALTH and Hologic Project Health Equality partnership addresses the physical, mental, and social\/emotional aspects of health for and about Black women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Healthcare Issues for Black Women in America:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To inform the campaign, OWN is implementing a study to identify key healthcare issues, attitudes, and behaviors affecting Black women in America. The study includes questions about Black women&#8217;s experience of bias in healthcare settings, the impact of past trauma on receiving care, their existing relationships with healthcare providers, and inquiry into cervical, breast, and uterine health and screenings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About OWN YOUR HEALTH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OWN YOUR HEALTH aims to bring awareness, education, resources, and a sense of community to address the unique health concerns facing Black women today. This multi-platform campaign is designed to inspire and encourage the OWN audience to put herself and her health and well-being first. OWN YOUR HEALTH expands on the success of OWN&#8217;s first-ever pro-social campaign OWN YOUR VOTE, a bipartisan registration and get-out-the-vote initiative that partnered with national and local grassroots and voting rights organizations during the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n<p>OWN YOUR HEALTH leads with powerful narratives and actions exploring the full range of mental, physical, and social\/emotional well-being by launching new initiatives quarterly. The goal is to provide messaging and tools that are informed, educational, relevant, and up to date with the latest developments as it relates to health and wellness. The campaign also provides opportunities for OWN brand partners to support with resources and promote healthier lifestyles.<\/p>\n<p>OWN YOUR HEALTH focuses on three key pillars affecting Black women&#8217;s health:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Proactive Prevention &#8211; including routine screenings, nutrition, physical activity, health education, and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 The Unspoken &#8211; including fertility, motherhood, sexual and relationship health, trauma, financial health, and treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Superwoman &#8211; source of pressure many Black women regularly experience &#8211; the obligation to project an image of strength and to suppress emotions, to resist accepting help or admitting vulnerability and prioritizing caregiving to others and community to the detriment of self.<\/p>\n<p>Link to OWN YOUR HEALTH Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ownyourhealth.tv\">www.ownyourhealth.tv<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network and its first-ever health initiative OWN YOUR HEALTH announced today an exclusive partnership with Hologic&#8217;s Project Health Equality public health initiative.
