For Grace consulted on a special segment hosted by Maria Shriver on NBC's Today show that spoke to gender bias in healthcare. Among many aspects of this troubling topic, our spokesperson pointed out the enormous bias toward women in pain that often gets in the way of optimal care. Besides describing her decades long  experience of being told that her pain was all in her head, she spoke to the thousands of women who report similar complaints to For Grace. Here's a LINK to this in-depth segment.
