I've spent years caring for patients in the hospital, where I've learned some of the most important lessons medicine could teach me. But over time, I started noticing something I could not stop thinking about. 

So many of the women I met weren't there because their bodies had suddenly failed them. What did their body try to tell them months earlier? Years earlier?

By the time they reached me, we were often trying to manage what had already become disease. I kept wondering, what if we had started the conversation sooner?
