Education
The Cornerstone of the Rowan Foundation Efforts
The Rowan Foundation has played an instrumental role in the blood clotting community since 2013, when it first began its mission-driven outreach and educational efforts related to the continuum of blood clot risks women face throughout their lifetime, including family planning and birth control, pregnancy and childbirth, and the treatment of menopause symptoms with hormone therapy.
During this time, the Rowan Foundation has been focused on education and raising awareness about the risks of dangerous blood clots in women’s health, reaching millions of women with potentially life-saving information.
2024: Focused on Potentially Life-Saving Insights
In 2024, the Rowan Foundation is excited to evolve and expand its efforts with a focus on genetic testing in thrombophilia to 1) increase blood clot risk identification 2) sharpen accuracy and expediency of blood clot diagnoses and 3) improve outcomes and save lives. This new work will help to elevate the clotting community’s recognition of the emerging promise of genetic testing used to inform decision-making relative to women’s reproductive health, including contraception options, pregnancy and childbirth, and the treatment of menopause symptoms with hormones.
2023: Recognizing the Rowan Foundation’s 10-Year Anniversary
In 2023, the Rowan Foundation recognized its 10-year anniversary, and realized significant gains associated with its communications and educational work. The organization unveiled its new “Women’s Health & Clotting Quarterly,” and also created an extensive suite of resources focused on contraception decision making.
