DETROIT - Michimich -- For many women, the barrier to better health isn't awareness — it's access. Time off work, childcare, cost, or not knowing where to start keeps care out of reach. Bold Women's Health Day closes that gap by bringing space and access together under one roof.

The Health Summit gives women an intimate setting to engage directly with health experts, ask questions they don't always get time to ask, and learn how to prioritize their own care. The Community Resource Fair, open to the public, connects attendees with screenings, providers, and community organizations — no appointment, referral, or membership required.

Together, the two experiences reflect BasBlue's approach: creating space for women to be seen and heard, while removing barriers between them and the care they need.

"From burnout and stress to hormonal health, reproductive care, aging and access to trusted information, women are navigating growing demands across every part of their lives — while their own health quietly moves to the bottom of the list," said Ellen Gilchrist, BasBlue CEO. "BasBlue created Bold Women's Health Day to close that gap."
