Highlighting Seasoned Women's Health

NORFOLK, Va. - More than 100 gathered at the Downtown Norfolk Sheraton on Saturday to advocate for the health of postmenopausal women. The Awards Breakfast is part of a weekend-long Seasoned Women's Health Summit organized by nonprofit Project Nana. This summit aims to spotlight a heightened cancer risk for women after menopause.

Recognizing Leaders in Women's Health

At the breakfast, Project Nana founder Vanessa Hill presented the inaugural Gwen Ifill Seasoned Women’s Champion Award to AARP CEO JoAnn Jenkins. Ifill was a groundbreaking journalist who made a career covering U.S. Politics, moderating presidential debates and hosting several programs for PBS, including Washington Week and PBS Newshour. Tragically, Ifill was just 61 when she passed away from endometrial cancer in 2016. Hill remarked, “It reminds me of how a person of consequence can make a difference for so many people in the world.”
