Reproductive Women’s Health

Reproductive and Women’s Health promotes the health and well-being of women. Strategies to decrease unplanned and mistimed pregnancies and make sure women get high-quality health care before, during, and after pregnancy and throughout their lifetimes, can help reduce serious health problems and deaths. We use evidence-based strategies such as breast cancer screening, long-acting reversible contraception access, teen pregnancy prevention programs, and preconception education interventions that provide information about the risks and benefits of behaviors that affect a woman’s health before, during, and after pregnancy. Additional programs focus on family planning, presumptive eligibility for TennCare, comprehensive cancer control, maternal health innovations, and reducing maternal death due to violence.
