Ms. Foundation grantee's initiative improves women's health with a question...


The following article about the Oregon Women's Health Foundation's initiative to improve women's health by having doctors ask "one key question" appears in Slate Magazine:

“Would You Like to Become Pregnant in the Next Year?”

A simple, routine question can improve health care.


Last week’s Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case may keep access to contraception out of reach for many women. In sharp contrast, a new program in Oregon puts reproductive health care front and center for all women.

The Oregon initiative, called One Key Question, aims to make sure that during each medical visit, a woman of reproductive age is asked: “Would you like to become pregnant in the next year?”
