A white paper report based on For Grace's 2018 Change Agent Pain Summit is moving ahead with the hiring of a passionate NIH writer who is also a woman with high-impact pain. We're thrilled! This report will not only contain a summary of the day’s event, but also the current state of pain care in California, the recommendations by our luminaries to improve pain management, the merits of integrative pain management and next steps on how to implement core recommendations from the National Pain Strategy in the Golden State.

For Grace's 2019 "Miracle Makers" livestream show in partnership with The Mighty will launch on February 28th! We're excited about our first two guests - dynamite change agents for women in pain who will be interviewed by Cynthia Toussaint. Link HERE to see our official page, to get show information and to watch stream archives as they become available. Get ready to be inspired as Cynthia dives raw and real into the psyche of these Miracle Makers!

For Grace's 2018 Change Agent Pain Summit turned out to be an extraordinary success - as our room full of world-class speakers and healthcare luminaries teamed up to improve care for Californians suffering from high-impact chronic pain. Now available are summit photos and a highlight video that capture the forward-thinking energy of this unique day - take a look at For Grace's Flickr and YouTube sites. And come back soon to learn about our exciting 2019 plans!

GREAT NEWS! For Grace's 17-year Pain Awareness Month effort has become a California Women's Caucus priority resolution - meaning this influential group strongly supports  our annual legislation to spotlight chronic pain as a public health concern as well as the gender bias toward women in pain. This year's author is Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, the first in a long line of women legislators going forward who will lead the charge. Reso information TBA.
