WOMEN'S HEALTH COLLABORATIVE FOR 2025 is comprised of a major expansion program for public education, research, publishing and clinical care. We support global exchange of ideas and sharing concepts that advancing the dial when it comes to improving the state of health for women.  In support of this, our executive team has expanded our group's core (general) function to offer specific interest branches.  In the case of Ms. Jessica Connell, we are launching the WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH- which unites professionals in this dedicated field of study.  Furthermore, (as with all health studies), there will be overlaps into other interests that align with mental health and we encourage the hybrid thinking. This is the core of collaboration.

THE CRITICAL ROLE OF DIAGNOSTICS IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS  By: Dr. Jess Sabrowsky DNP, RN, FNP-BC What I have learned over the years is the importance of listening to the patient, but equally, the importance of using data-driven diagnostics to make real-time decisions about care. This is not just about numbers on a chart—it is about understanding the full picture of your health, long before symptoms arise. We need to use technology, diagnostics, and assessment techniques to gather real data. Data that can guide each patient on their unique health journey. Diagnostics help us understand the true state of a person’s health, even when they may not feel “sick.” This is where the rubber meets the road: when you find a PCP who truly understands the importance of these tools and works with you to achieve your wellness goals and who also has skills beyond the transitional medical model to help you live your best life. Having difficult conversations is uncomfortable, but it is necessary for growth. If you want a healthcare provider who will partner with you—someone who creates a safe space, builds trust, and encourages honest dialogue to support long-term growth—then you must also be willing to put in the effort. Finding a provider who matches your commitment to your health, and one who uses diagnostics to empower you, is key to achieving your goals. WHY DIAGNOSTICS MATTER In short, diagnostics are essential because they offer concrete, actionable insights into your health that go beyond surface-level symptoms. They help uncover hidden health risks and enable early intervention, which can be the difference between preventing a chronic condition or managing it effectively. Diagnostics allow for personalized care tailoring interventions to meet the specific needs of the individual based on real, measurable data. I also would add that as a provider I prefer to reference functional lab ranges when reviewing results as I find that I can make small preventative recommendations and also challenge individuals and providers to think outside the box when looking to help resolve health conditions, like in the case of my daughter who otherwise would still be suffering. Let’s aim to stop the suffering and optimize wellness for all who seek it.
